Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a song that Patsy Cline would want to sing if she were alive today. With a simple soothing melody and lyric, that you can't help singing after one listening.

Lyrics
THESE BLUES
©2002 Art Corey/Jeff Hodge
Verse I
How was I to know I'd be so unhappy
Left with just the memory of you
I'm forced to start again set a course and ride the wind
But how will I survive these sad sad blues
Chorus
These blues are killing me
They've stolen my soul and I?m as lonesome as can be
Take away these chains Dear Lord set me free
Because these blues are killing me
Verse II
I will learn to live without your laughter
Your kiss is just a faded memory
I'll forget your gentle touch all your tender charms and such
If I could only shake these sad sad blues
Bridge
Left with broken dreams of you each night
The future?s not so clear
But I?m getting stronger with each dawn
And every falling tear
Still these blues???.
