I've been hurtin' so bad Since she been gone I've tried to take comfort In some old sad song Cause I feel a little better Knowing someone hurts the way I do Yeah when I'm this far down All that makes me happy is the blues All they talk on TV They shout about something Nobody listening Nobody say nothing Seem like my old guitar Is the only face I find the truth, yeah This all world is going crazy All that makes me happy is the blues I'd love to hear that sweet Memphi's song And that good old funky rock 'n' roll When I need some healing there's only thing I turn to All that makes me happy is the blues There alone tonight When everybody's gone I turned on the lights And put me some B.B. King on Yeah just like an old friend It always pulls me through Yeah when I get down this low All that makes me happy is the blues Just like an old friend You can count on to pull you through When I get down this low All that makes me happy is the blues
