i've got to change my way of living,
cause trouble's all that i can see.
i gotta change my way of living,
lord trouble's all that i can see.
my life is in such a mess,
there ain't no one to blame but me.
my good girl tried to tell me,
wouldn't hear a thing she said.
lord my good girl tried to tell me,
wouldn't hear a lonesome thing she said.
now she's taken her things and left me,
no place for me to lay my head.
blue, lord i'm blue.
raining down on me.
i gotta change my way of living,
cause the blues is all i see.
blue, lord i'm blue.
raining down on me.
i gotta change my way of living,
change my way,
the blues is all i see.
now when your luck runs out,
that's when your friends will run out too.
lord, when your luck runs out,
your fairweather friends will run out too.
you're a very lucky man, lord
if there is just one who'll stand by you.
blue, lord i'm blue.
the blues raining down on me.
i gotta change my way of living,
cause the blues is all i see.
