Dues To The Blues Lyrics

Baby stayed out all night long

But it's not for me to say what's right or wrong

I can't win, nothing too much to lose

But I've been up all night, paying my dues to the blues

Yonder comes my baby, playing by the book

These days she wears that loved-on look

She's OK, tells me she's feeling fine

But she's with someone else now, never really was mine

If my brain is loaded and my eyes are red

It still takes more than whisky to smash my head

I can't win, wish I had some more to lose

Still, I've been up all night, just paying my dues to the blues

She's a foxy lady with an easy smile

I have to take it slowly every once in a while

I can't win, wish I had some more to lose

But it feels just right still paying my dues to the blues

She knows I can't complain out here on Easy Street

But I keep on looking and there's no one to meet

I can't win, nothing too much to lose

But I've been up all night, paying my dues to the blues
