Your dreams
Have been shattered
You’ve lost
What once mattered
Now you can
Partake of the blues
Your due’s
Been paid and spent

Partake of the blues
Life’s knocked you
Flat down
Whole world’s been
Spun around

You gave it
Your best
Now you got
Nothing left
‘Cept the blues
Long day
Runs into night
You got
No will to fight
Now you can
Partake of the blues
Now you can
Partake of the blues
Oh the blues
