rock bottom blues

i've had a little time to reason

i've had a little time to grow

there's people in the world i'm pleasin'

there's people in the world who don't wanna know

but the future's gonna be much better

i can tell you that i've paid my dues

now you tell me where

where did you get your blues

won't you talk to me about your problems

tell me all about your ways

sometimes i feel like a helpless child

won't you help me through these rock bottom days

but the future's gonna be much better

i can tell you that i've paid my dues

now you tell me where

where did you get your blues

when you're on the street you ain't nobody's fool - no you ain't

i'm looking for a good example

i'm looking for a piece of the game

i didn't know that i was a gambling man

when you're on the ground it all looks the same

but the future's gonna be much better

i can tell you that i've paid my dues

now you tell me where

where did you get your blues

when you're on the street you ain't nobody's fool - no you ain't

don't decide that you've lost everything

don't you decide that you have lost everything

won't you help me

please help me now

help me help myself

i can't help myself

but the future's gonna be much better

i can tell you that i've paid my dues

now you tell me where

where did you get your blues

when you're on the street you ain't nobody's fool - no you ain't
