Keeping Those Blues At Bay

Damn right the blues are here to stay I have earned my stripes each day Chicago native my blues run deep We learn to feel the pain, not weep. Strive, endure push forward too Believe someday change that's true Life's not always what you expect Forward plug on you have to trek. For some it's easy for most it's not It's just not something that you can plot Twists and turns will come your way Hold your head up push forward each day He left you no money alone in the dark Took off in the car while trying to park Sometimes it best he's gone they say Start fresh, begin anew today Your strong enough to do it alone Find a place, make it a home Work hard, push on is all you can do Someday you gets what's coming to you.
