'Cause trouble's all that I can see
I gotta change my way of living
Lord, trouble's all that I can see
My life is in such a mess
There ain't no one to blame, but me
My good girl tried to tell me
Wouldn't hear a thing, she said
Lord, my good girl tried to tell me
Wouldn't hear a lonesome thing, she said
Now she's taken her things and left me
No place for me to lay my head
Blue, Lord, I'm blue
Raining down on me
I gotta change my way of living
'Cause the blues is all I see
Blue, Lord I'm blue
Raining down on me
I gotta change my way of living, change my way
The blues is all I see
Now, when your luck runs out
That's when your friends will run out too
Lord, when your luck runs out
Your fairweather friends will run out too
You're a very lucky man, Lord
If there is just one who'll stand by you
Blue, Lord, I'm blue
The blues raining down on me
I gotta change my way of living
'Cause the blues is all I see
