The Blues Is Alive and Well

When I walk through the front door

I swear I heard the backdoor slam

I got a sneaking suspicion

You got another man

You done me wrong

Our love is dead and gone

But as far as I can tell

The blues is alive and well

Said you was visitin' your sister

On the south side of town

But your sister called this mornin'

Said you never came around

Yes, you doin' me wrong

Our love is dead and gone

But as far as I can tell

The blues is alive and well

I been hurtin' this way

For so damn long

Misery and pain

Still comin' on strong

As long as I'm breathin'

And my heart's still beatin'

I got my story to tell

I know the blues is alive and well

Can't you tell I got it

I've been hurtin' this way

For so damn long

Misery and pain

Still comin' on strong

As long as I'm breathin'

My heart is still beatin'

I got my story to tell

I know the blues is alive and well

As long as I'm breathin'

My heart is still beatin'

I got my story to tell

As long as I'm around

The blues is alive and well

Yes, it is

Blue

Good morning Mr. Blues

My friends told me 'fore they died

Keep the blues alive
