I’m no stranger to the blues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Sometimes a song is all that keeps me hanging on
Yeah I’m no stranger to the blues

Ridin’ high when the saddle fits
Catch a lift if someone’s goin’
Take the train when I’ve got the coin to pay
And walk my shoes off when I don’t

I’m no stranger to the blues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Sometimes a song is all that keeps me hanging on
Yeah I’m no stranger to the blues

Picture postcard in the mail today
“Hey hello the weather’s great
Made some new friends, don’t think I’ll be back again
Wish you were here too bad you ain’t”

I’m no stranger to the blues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
When it comes to comes and goes, they’re easy to confuse
Yeah I’m no stranger to the blues

Check my boots each morning for scorpions
Check my bed for snakes at night
I check for bees when I drink from my canteen
While the grizzly creeps up from behind

I’m no stranger to the blues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Sometimes a song is all that keeps me hanging on
Yeah I’m no stranger to the blues
