I've always known life has its ups and downs
It's been so long now darlin' I've been wearing this big old frown
Seems like forever since I had a good time
I even had to fool a few friends of mine
When you're on the bottom you can't even buy luck
Especially when you're down to your very last buck
Whenever someone asks me was I doing okay
I 'd lie right in their face and then I'd fade away
Hard luck and trouble had a hold on me
I did not need your third degree
CHORUS
There was a whole lot of lovin' that was passing me by
Well I was too blue to see it
Even when you looked me in the eye
Felt like I was living in a great black hole
The music I was playing didn't have no soul
But since you left me baby one things for sure
I don't have the blues no more
Now I go rockin', rockin' down life's highway
Now when I pick up this old guitar
I really know how to play
But the boys in the band are really grinning tonight
With a rock n' roll party till the broad daylight
Well it's such a funky feeling I can hardly believe it
I've got an ace up my sleeve and I don't even need it
Yip, Yip, Yip I don't need no pills
Yup, Yup, Yup you have cured my ills
Since you left me baby one things for sure
I don't have the blues no more
REPEAT CHORUS
I don't have the blues
I don't have the blues
I don't have the blues
I don't have the blues
Since you left me baby
I don't have the blues no more
