Lyrics

RECORD DEAL BLUES
Let me tell you a little story ?bout why I started singin? the blues, yeah
Let me tell you a little story ?bout why I started singin? the blues
And I got a funny feelin? that afterwards you?ll sing them too.

I started singin? for my family over twenty somethin? years ago, Mmmm
I started singin? for my family over twenty somethin? years ago
When the music touched my heart it?s somethin? I couldn?t out grow.

Now I?m flat broke - It?s no joke.
Another deal died and I still can?t figure why - Yeah I got the record deal blues
And it?s got me thinkin?, it?s got me singin? the blues

Then I saved all my pennies and I spent them on the studio time, yeah
You know I saved all my pennies and I spent them on the studio time
They may not hit the charts but I know that each song is mine.

Then I hired me a manager to knock on the label doors
You know I hired me a manager to knock on the label doors
You know she knocked, knocked, knocked
Till you know she couldn?t knock anymore

Now we?re both flat broke - It?s no joke.
Another deal died and we still can?t figure why
We?ve got the record deal blues
You know it?s got me thinkin?, it?s got me singin? the blues
You know it?s got me thinkin?, it?s got me singin? the blues
Oh, yeah, it?s got me thinkin?, it?s got me singin? the blues! Hello?
