Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Well, I woke up this morning, feeling low and down,
The blues done found me, in this cold, dark town.
Got holes in my shoes, and a tear in my coat,
But I keep on walking, down this lonesome road.
(Chorus)
Oh, these hard times, they never seem to end,
But I'll keep on singing, 'cause the blues, they're my best friend.
Through the rain and the pain, I'll find my way,
With this old guitar, I'll make it through another day.
[guitar solo 1]
(Verse 2)
Got whiskey in my bottle, and dust on my soul,
Every step I take, feels like a heavy toll.
But I'll keep on moving, with the rhythm in my bones,
'Cause the music's the only thing that feels like home.
(Chorus)
Oh, these hard times, they never seem to end,
But I'll keep on singing, 'cause the blues, they're my best friend.
Through the rain and the pain, I'll find my way,
With this old guitar, I'll make it through another day.
(Bridge)
In the darkness of the night, I hear the howling wind,
It whispers tales of sorrow, of the places I have been.
But I'll stand tall, with my head held high,
And let the blues take me, to the endless sky.
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
Oh, these hard times, they never seem to end,
But I'll keep on singing, 'cause the blues, they're my best friend.
Through the rain and the pain, I'll find my way,
With this old guitar, I'll make it through another day.
(Outro)
So I'll keep on strumming, till the break of dawn,
In this world of darkness, I'll be the light that's drawn.
For the blues, they're my salvation, my guiding star,
And with every chord I play, I'll heal these scars.
(Chorus)
Oh, these hard times, they never seem to end,
But I'll keep on singing, 'cause the blues, they're my best friend.
Through the rain and the pain, I'll find my way,
With this old guitar, I'll make it through another day.
(Outro)
So I'll keep on strumming, till the break of dawn,
In this world of darkness, I'll be the light that's drawn.
For the blues, they're my salvation, my guiding star,
And with every chord I play, I'll heal these scars.
