Listen to my song,
and I'll tell you a story or two,
yeah, listen to the story,
of a man that I once knew,
who had no car and had no money,
and all he did was sing the blues.
Then along came a woman,
and she told him what to do,
yeah, along came a woman,
and she told him what to do,
gave him love, she gave him pride,
and taught him all about the moon.
If you listen to this song,
you may learn a thing or two,
if you listen to my story,
you may learn a thing or two,
go ahead and live your life,
don't just sit and sing the blues.
