The Blues Have You

Last night I was thinking
About the river that I lived on
And the people of my old hometown
How they’ve never gone

But I left long ago
Searching for some holy grail
Now defeated I’ve come home

Searching for something
Waiting for me
Waiting for me

Last night I was thinking
About a girl I knew
How I took her in my arms
And kissed her tattoos

And I know I must’ve begged her
For some good news
She said honey you don’t have the blues

The blues have you
The blues have you

Last night I was thinking
About God himself
How I wish he’d come on down here
Get on with it and send me to hell

Then I met a couple angels
At the hotel bar
They said faith is still behind you my son
It’s not that far

It’s not that far
Just keep trying
Keep trying keep trying
