Lyrics

TURN THE BLUES AROUND
JMA 2002

I went out on a walk this morning just to clear my head of noise.
I been elbows deep in soap suds and tripping over toys.
Heading out through the wheat fields on a quiet country road
To my surprise in front of my eyes a duster dropped its load.

(Gotta) turn the blues around
(Gotta) turn the blues around.
(Gotta) turn the blues around now,
You know I?m willing and bound, to turn those blues around.

I don?t mean to sound pessimistic, I?m really sure I?m not,
But behind that silver lining, it?s been cloudy an awful lot.
Don?t seem to be much greener in the pasture over there.
Maybe that means it?s plenty ?nough green right here where we are.

CHORUS

I know money, it isn?t the answer to the problems that we?ve got
But wouldn?t it be nice, if once or twice, I could pay for what I bought.
I can hear the words that you?re saying before they come out of your mouth.
Why do I think that every (little) thing is going down south.

CHORUS

Now I?m thinking life is too short to cry over that spilled milk.
Who ever said that every little thing?s got to be some great big thrill?
I think I?ve got what I?m needing, some love and my good health,
I guess you could say along the way I?ve been doing pretty well.

I turned the blues around
I turned the blues around
I turned the blues around now
You know I?m willing and bound, and I turned the blues around.
