Only the Blues Songtext
von Jess Klein

Since the day I left my home town
Been looking for a place to lay my burden down
I walked around Memphis
I pranced around Paris
I drove across Texas
And I knelt before Jesus
I don′t know why
I don't know how
But only the blues will take my burden now
Everybody asks me what on earth I think I′ll get
That I haven't gotten yet
It won't be riches and probably not fame
I still got my freedom but the price is my pain
I don′t know why
I don′t know how
But only the blues will take my burden now
So go call your doctor
Go pray to your saint Buy yourself a new house
With a new coat of paint
I keep my last dollar on this three chord riff
Three chords and a microphone give me some kind of lift
I don't know why
I don′t know how
But only the blues will take my burden now
So baby I love you with all of my heart
I will till the end, I did from the start
But when my eyes are teary don't think you′ve got the cure
It ain't because your love ain′t pure
I don't know why
I don't know how
But only the blues will take my burden now
Only the blues
Only the blues
Oh only the blues
