Learnin The Blues

The tables are empty – the dance floor’s deserted
you play the same love song – it’s the tenth time you’ve heard it
that’s the beginning – just one of the clues
you’ve had your first lesson – in learnin’ the blues
The cigarettes you light – one after another
won’t help you forget her – and the way that you love her
you’re only burnin’ – a torch you can’t lose
but you’re on the right track – for learnin’ the blues
When you’re at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly
when you’re out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don’t sleep – the whole night you’re cryin’
but you can’t forget her – soon you even stop tryin’
you’ll walk that floor – and wear out your shoes
when you feel your heart break – you’re learnin’ the blues
When you’re at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly
when you’re out in a crowd, those blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don’t sleep – that whole night you’re cryin’
but you can’t forget her – soon you even stop tryin’
you’ll walk the floor – and you’ll wear out your shoes
when you feel your heart break – you’re learnin’ those blues
