Good News Blues

Good News Blues - Billy Joe Shaver

My woman left me

And I'm so glad she did

My old gal left me

And I'm glad she took the kids

Now I've got less mouths to feed

And more room to sleep in the bed

I got the good news blues

Smiling on a rainy day

I got the good news blues

Don't sung all my troubles away

Ain't got no achin' bones

Ain't got no bills to pay

The politicians you see

What you want to hear

You know it's here one day

And right out the other ear

They promise you whiskey

And won't even give you a beer

I got the good news blues

Smiling on a rainy day

I got the good news blues

Don't sung all my troubles away

Ain't got no achin' bones

Ain't got no bills to pay
