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.
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.

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.
