Commonly Known As The Blues

[Verse 1]
I just hitched a ride on the northbound bus
This place has been good to me
I ain't got much money been down on my luck
But I'm as free as the warm summer breeze

[Verse 2]
If I hadn't made the mistake that I did
I'd probably be with you
I don't want no pity I just got paid
For what's commonly known as the blues

[Chorus]
The fact that I'm not tied down
Makes the day a bit brighter
But nights are so lonely without you

[Verse 3]
You don't miss the water 'til the well runs dry
That's what my old dad once said
And since that morning we she said goodbye
That thought made a road through my head

[Verse 4]
I'm beating myself more than anyone else
When I do things the way that I do
'Cause in your heart is my medicine shelf
For what's commonly known as the blues

[Chorus]
The fact that I'm not tied down
Makes the day a bit brighter
But nights are so lonely without you

[Verse 3]
You don't miss the water till the well runs dry
That's what my old dad once said
And since that morning we she said goodbye
That thought made a road through my head

[Verse 4]
I'm beating myself more than anyone else
When I do things the way that I do
'Cause in your heart is my medicine shelf
For what's commonly known as the blues
Yes in your heart is my medicine shelf
For what's commonly known as the blues
