Like an Old Blues

Nelson

Laughing at me
Those pictures you said were strange . .
Out of tune, out of key
It's such a shame but you never quite see
You always put the blame on me . .
I'm like an old blues that you never use
Going out of style and it's not worthwhile anymore . .
Looking at you and the way you shine
Like a sharp knife . .
Well, I've found a new switchblade
It's time I took a stab at a new life . .
There's nothing left for me to lose . .
You're just an old blues that I never use
Going out of style and it's not worthwhile anymore . .
You send your dirty words to me
You're having a ball with the men of the law . .
But the poet and his pen are free
And there's nothing you can do
That will ever bring me to my knees . .
Calling me names . . . You make me feel like I'm crazy . .
Something has changed, I don't care for you lately . .
Nothing left for me to do . .
I'm just an old blues that you never use
Going out of style and it's not worthwhile anymore . .
