Lyrics

The Blues Got In The Way

So you decided to start a new life
But all your blue skies turned to gray
And just as soon as the sun shined
The blues got in the way

So you've decided to hit the big time
All your dreams have gone astray
And just as soon as you played the new tune
Oh the blues got in the way

What cha gonna do to try and change it
When all that sunshine turns to rain
You're standin' on the top of the mountain
But the blues got in the way

What cha gonna do when it's all over
And the sun shines through the rain
Best you button up that overcoat
'Cause the blues gets in the way

So you decided to start a new life
You found yourself a brighter day
And it seemed just like a fine time
But the blues got in the way
