MISTER BLUES

Aint no life without heartache, aint no love without pain Someday Mister Blues, he come callin' your name Aint no life without suffering, aint no heart without loss Prepare for life's sorrows, get measured up for your cross. You can be a big hitter or an average Joe, Live it up in a mansion or some hovel below You can dress like a pauper or wear the finest of clothes Aint no hiding from badass, Ol' Mister Blues knows. You can give it the big licks, 'Look at Me Everyone' You can live in life's shadows, never seeing the sun You can be dull and dowdy or the belle of the ball Till the day he says, 'Howdy', Mister Blues gets us all. You can ride fancy horses or an old pedal bike You can suffer in silence or scream all you like You can be a good father or a prodigal son When ole Bluesy's out fishing he nets us all, everyone. Aint no life without heartache, aint no love without pain Someday Mister Blues he come calling your name Aint no life without suffering, aint no heart without loss Prepare for life's sorrows, get measured up for your cross.

I listened to your wonderful song on you tube. Very enjoyable, but would have loved to follow along with printed words. Aloha, Connie

This reads like a song, wise and showing of possibilities, and true that in the end it all ends no matter which path we chose
