Everytime I Sing the Blues

Everytime I Sing the Blues - Buddy Guy (巴蒂.蓋)/Eric Clapton (艾力克·克萊普頓)

Somebody asked me why I live the blues

I said the blues is all around me; I just find something I can use

And I feel it running through me but I give it my heart and soul

I practice while I'm singing; let the feeling take control

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

Might think about a woman and how she done me wrong

I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on

I might think about a brother who still can't make things be

Some fallin' sisters sellin' it on the street

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I find my inspiration in tears and desperation

Sad sad stories we all know so well

Along with one more story to tell

Here I am another night; another town along the way

Room full of people say they wanna hear me play

Yes there was some hard times my luck cannot survive

It takes a whole lot of livin; to make us all come alive

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth
