Looked in the mirror
Turned my back
Tell me how to live
Just cut me a little slack
I been working all day
Been working for small pay
Just so I can make due just for a little while
But now I've got this feeling
And you know I just can't put my finger on it
Blue
Lord I'm blue
Well I'm so blue I just don't know what to do
I get up in the morning and look outside my window
And you know I can't see nothing but the color blue
Well people that I see out on the streets
They think their appearance makes them better
But they don't know what us longhairs know
But the world keeps on judging and my hair keeps on growing
But now that feeling comes again
But you know it feels like home
Blue
Lord I'm blue
Well I'm so blue I just don't know what to do
I get up in the morning and look outside my window
And you know I can't see nothing but the color blue
If you spend the whole day washing your boat
That's one less day that your boat is afloat
And if it rains tomorrow then today wasn't nothing
So put on your sailing shoes and drift out with the tide
But that feeling keeps on coming back
Yeah I guess that's just rock and roll
Blue
Lord I'm blue
Well I'm so blue I just don't know what to do
I get up in the morning and look outside my window
And you know I can't see nothing but the color blue
