Contextual Analysis of "sing the blues" in Lyrics

nobody knows

made mistakes when we were young

sings with an old cajun band

blues

i sit and cry

i sit and cry

start

i gotta right to moan inside

start

i gotta right to feel low down

i don't know what to do

well

he thinks he should be black to have the blues

and orange county ain't a breeding ground for blues

but they're lonely when there's nothing else to do

he does a little shakespeare and he sings he plays the mandolin and other things

start

she's got them bad

yes

well

i've lost count of all the times i've waited

when things ain't working out the way you planned
