Well, my truck broke down this morning on
the freeway
Somewhere betwee
n here and where I’d been
And I lost my favorite lady last night i
n a card game
She s
tacked the deck so I could
n’t win.
And now I’m lo
st and lonesome
Dow
n so low I’ve got-ta reac
h up to tie my shoes
Now I’m lost and lo
nesome
Li
vin’ with a classic case of the blues.
There’s an old piano playin’ on the j
ukebox
And a steel guit
ar just beggin’ me to cry
And those barroom ladies smilin’ by the
dozen
Jus
t so they can tear my heart out o
ne more time.
And now I’m lo
st and lonesome
Dow
n so low I’ve got-ta reac
h up to tie my shoes
Now I’m lost and lo
nesome
Li
vin’ with a classic case of the blues.
Well, there’s a brighter side to eve
rything I’m saying
There’s a silver lining som
ewhere down the line
But I sure ain’t seen that brighter sid
e lately
I’l
l be damned if I’ll believe that lin
ing shines.
And now I’m lo
st and lonesome
Dow
n so low I’ve got-ta reac
h up to tie my shoes
Now I’m lost and lo
nesome
Li
vin’ with a classic case of the blues.
