Country Blues

Chorus:
I got the Country Blues, what's the use nothing turns out right
I got the Country Blues, guess I lose here's another lonely night
I got the Country Blues, no choice to choose don't turn out my light
I got the Country Blues, what's the use here's another lonely night.
Verse 1:
The dawn breaks through the window, the light shines on the bed
The second pillows empty, where there should be a woman's head,
The wardrobe sits half empty, no smell of sweet perfume,
The fridge is bare, dust everywhere, this house has too much room,
Chorus:
I got the Country Blues, what's the use nothing turns out right
I got the Country Blues, guess I lose here's another lonely night
I got the Country Blues, no choice to choose don't turn out my light
I got the Country Blues, what's the use here's another lonely night
Verse 2:
I march on down the driveway, and head off down the street
The sun is shining brightly, maybe there's someone I might meet,
I some people waving, but I know it's not at me,
They laugh and smile for a little while, so I pretend and wait hopelessly,
Chorus:
I got the Country Blues, what's the use nothing turns out right
I got the Country Blues, guess I lose here's another lonely night
I got the Country Blues, no choice to choose don't turn out my light
I got the Country Blues, what's the use here's another lonely night.
Verse 3:
Two's company, three's a crowd this is what they say
But one is the loneliest number, each and every day,
For some things come so easy, but for most life is so tough,
Try to live each day, not run away just livings hard enough,
Chorus:
I got the Country Blues, what's the use nothing turns out right
I got the Country Blues, guess I lose here's another lonely night
I got the Country Blues, no choice to choose don't turn out my light
I got the Country Blues, what's the use here's another lonely night.
