where the blues begins

you take a man and a woman

that just can't get along

sick and tired of doing each other wrong. painful words are spoken

pressures

that they don't belong in here. oh

oh

this is where the blues begins

a young man on the street

trying hard to make his way

out there in this mean world it gets harder every day. he tried to find a good fight

he was starting a new life

but the saw him closing in. oh

oh

this is where the blues begins

where the blues begins

way down on the bottom

you got the struggle to survive

where the blues begins

hard luck and trouble

takes us totally on the line

it's the same old fight

you know you just can't win

oh

oh

this is where the blues begins

where the blues begins

way down on the bottom

you got the struggle to survive

where the blues begins

hard luck and trouble

takes us totally on the line

it's the same old fight

you know you just can't win

oh

oh

this is where the blues begins. it's the same old fight

you know you just can't win
