LIVING ABOVE THE BLUES

LIVING ABOVE THE BLUES

I'M NOT A RICH MAN

EVEN THOU

 IVE  WORKED HARD

I' VE ALWAYS HAD

JUST ENOUGH TO GET BY

SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT'S NOT LIVING

AND MAYBE THAT'S TRUE


BUT ASK IF I'M OK



NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS

I'M  JUST

LIVING ABOVE THE BLUES


JOE'S WIFE

SHE JUST UP AND LEFT

HE JUST TURNED INTO A MESS

SO EVERY NIGHT  I PASS HIM BY

WITH THAT BOTTLE

IN HIS HAND

IT COULD SO EASILY BE ME


BUT ASK IF I'M OK



 NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS

I'M JUST

LIVING ABOVE THE BLUES


SISTER MARY

SON TURNED TWENTY ONE

GOT INTO SOME KIND OF FIGHT

THREE BULLET HOLES FROM A GUN

NOW HES FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE

ALL I CAN SAY

IS I'M SORRY


BUT ASK IF I'M OK



NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS

I'M JUST

LIVING ABOVE THE BLUES


THE BLUES ARE ALL AROUND

IT SEEPS IN TO YOUR SOUL

IT WILL KILL YOU

IF YOU LET IT

SOME TIMES

YOU VE JUST GOT TO LET IT GO


BUT ASK IF I'M OK

BECAUSE I'M JUST

LIVING ABOVE THE BLUES.

I'M LIVING JUST ABOVE THE BLUES
