The Blues Damn Sure Got Me ©2026 Ronald G Brown

Damn right, I got the blues
It's here behind this smile
You won't see any clues
Been hidin' it quite awhile
Stuck in a life I didn't choose
No chance I'll break free
Quietly prayin' and payin' my dues
Damn right, I got the blues, and the blues damn sure got me


That's right, I live the blues
My tears they smell like gin
Ain't no lie, ain't no ruse
You wouldn't like it where I've been
Stuck in a life I didn't choose
No chance I'll break free
Quietly prayin' and payin' my dues
Damn right, I got the blues, and the blues damn sure got me


So what, I got the blues
I don't need rescued yet
My name ain't on the news
I'll deal with it, no sweat
Stuck in a life I didn't choose
No chance that I'll break free
Quietly prayin' and payin' my dues
Damn right, I got the blues, and the blues damn sure got me
