Everything I Know About The Blues |
I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river |
The Army taught me how to shine my shoes |
The years have shown me that nothin' lasts forever |
But everything I know about the blues |
I learned from you |
I thought I’d seen my share of bad luck and hard times |
But nothin' set me up for what you put me through |
I learned a lesson that will hurt me for a lifetime |
'Cause everything I know about the blues |
I learned from you |
I know that promises are things that just get broken |
And you can’t trust a woman’s tears |
And if love is what you place your hope in |
All your hope may disappear |
In certain circles I’ve aquired a reputation |
But I give credit where credit is due |
Yes it’s true I got a first rate education |
'Cause everything I know about the blues |
I learned from you |
