The Blues Are Alive and Well

[Verse 1]
I know that most folks
They like a good joke
Laughing and wearing a smile
A place where the good times
Flow like a good wine
And love songs are always in style

[Chorus]
But the blues are alive and well
I'm living proof that heartache still sells
As long as there's whiskey
A song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well

[Verse 2]
Bartender, hit me
My glass is half empty
Has been since he's been gone
I heard his new wife
Goes great with his new life
Seems like the whole world's moving on

[Chorus]
But the blues are alive and well
I'm living proof that heartache still sells
As long as there's whiskey
A song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well

[Bridge]
Turn up that jukebox
Turn down the lights
And let me be lonely tonight

[Chorus]
But the blues are alive and well
I'm living proof that heartache still sells
As long as there's whiskey
A song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well
