Lose the Blues

You can lose all your money.

You can do it any time you choose.

When you lose it's not funny

'cause trouble always comes by in twos

but no matter how hard you try, honey,

you just can't lose the blues.

You can lose your own woman.

She can leave you thinking you've been used.

Your strings can lose their tuning

and then the notes start to get confused

but seriously, no fooling,

you just can't lose the blues.

You can lose your directions

and then start going the wrong way too.

You can lose your connections

and then maybe you can't pay your dues

but even if you haven't paid, I'm bettin'

you just can't lose the blues.
