When The Blues Are Bad

(album: Padlock On The Blues - 1999)

If you got a reason and you feel lowdown
Start believing, take a look around
A cheating lady or a lack of cash
Someone going round talking trash

Put yourself in my shoes
Put your faith in the blues
'Cause when the blues are real bad
You know they got to be good for you

A rhythm for beating all your aches and pains
The power of healing coming round again
Ease your worries and you'll get your kicks
Rocking pianos and guitar licks

Gather round me, try to understand
Nothing better than a rocking band
Got the boogie woogie and rock and roll
Nothing better to free your soul

Put yourself in my shoes
Put your faith in the blues
'Cause when the blues are real bad
You know they got to be good for you
