| Pour one out for me, let it soak beneath the streets
|
| Tell my story, it sounds crazy but it’s true
|
| We had highs and we had lows
|
| Where’d we go, nobody knows
|
| You can sing for me but don’t you sing the blues
|
| Made mistakes when we were young
|
| Can’t say that we never had fun
|
| All the drinks came free, the women came in twos
|
| Those were good times my friends but all good things gotta end
|
| You can sing for me but don’t you sing the blues
|
| Don’t sing the
|
| Blues, blues, blues
|
| Now don’t you sing the blues
|
| Don’t sing the
|
| Blues, blues, blues
|
| Now don’t you sing the blues
|
| Don’t sing the blues
|
| Told me «keep your image clean, don’t get drunk, don’t cause a scene»
|
| But I fucked around, got all of these tattoos
|
| Yeah I walked a different path, but I never once looked back
|
| You can sing for me but don’t you sing the blues
|
| Don’t sing the
|
| Blues, blues, blues
|
| Now don’t you sing the blues
|
| Don’t sing the
|
| Blues, blues, blues
|
| Now don’t you sing the blues
|
| Don’t sing the blues
|
| Baby, I was ridiculous, young Icarus
|
| I flew too close to the sun but when I reminisce
|
| That wickedness, was the shit that kept me young
|
| And every choice I made, I wouldn’t trade
|
| All that for anyone
|
| So don’t you cry, cry, cry for me
|
| And don’t sing the
|
| Blues, blues, blues
|
| Now don’t you sing the blues
|
| (Don't, don’t, don’t you sing the blues)
|
| Don’t sing the
|
| Blues, blues, blues
|
| Now don’t you sing the blues
|
| Don’t sing the blues
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t you sing
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t you sing
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t you sing
|
| The blues
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t you sing
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t you sing
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t you sing
|
| The blues
|
| As I lie here in my grave all my sins have washed away
|
| Let me tell you from a dead man’s point of view
|
| Live your life 'cause when it’s done
|
| You ain’t got no other one
|
| When they sing for you don’t let them sing the blues |
