These Blues

When I get these blues, I just look back down that road It's been a while since I laid down that load These blues ain't nothin' like the blues I had Before I paid a little debt I owed When I get these blues, I just look back down that road Everythin' I ever needed was on the shelf Spent all of my time feelin' sorry for myself I was driftin' and dreamin' and waitin' And watchin' for a ship with a silver sail But I got lucky and I woke up in jail There is none so blind as he who will not see And it's easy to see I could not see that was me When he washed ashore The drunken sailor was adrift in the city night And you'd better believe, in the mornin' my burden was light Well I don't know where I'm goin' But I know where I've been And there ain't no need to ever go back again And my very worst days are so much better Than the best I knew back then And I thank the Lord that a loser can sometimes win Yeah, I thank the Lord that a loser can sometimes win
