I got up early this morning
So I could walk the floor
I′ve got to hit the streetsCause there's a wolf outside my door
The bill collector′s calling
And my kids need better shoes
Gonna go to church on sunday
Cause I got nothing left to loose
And it's a good day
It's a real good day for the blues
It′s raining cats and dogs outside
And I′m looking for a job
The man I worked for laid me off
Lord and I worked for him real hard
But I won't let my kids go hungry
No matter what I have to do
And it′s a good day,
It's a real good day for the blues
Things are getting better
The check is in the mail
I just threw my last dye in the wishing well
And it′s a good day,
A real good day for the blues
I got a up early this morning
So I could walk the floor
I've got to hit the streets
Cause there is a wolf outside my door
Gonna go to church on sunday
Lord I got nothing to loose
And it′s a good day
It's a real good day for the blues
