My Old Friend The Blues

Steve Earle

Just when every ray of hope was gone


I should have known that you would come along


I can't believe I ever doubted you


My old friend the blues


Another lonely night, a nameless town


If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around


'Cause I know I can always count on you


My old friend the blues





Lovers leave and friends will let you down


But you're the only sure thing that I've found


No matter what I do I'll never lose


My old friend the blues





Just let me hide my weary heart in you


My old friend the blues
