True Life Blues

[Verse 1]
Well, I hate to see the sun sink low
As far upon, well, you ought to know
For it's true lovin', I can't forget
All of my sorrow, you'll soon regret

[Verse 2]
You promised me love that was true
I'm sorry to say I believed in you
It all turned out just like a dream
Leavin' me so sad in the world, it seems

[Verse 3]
There's dishes to wash and a house to clean
There's a wash to do, Lord, it seems so mean
There's a million words I can't explain
Think of this, girl, before you change your name

[Verse 4]
They'll go away and leave you at home
They never care if you're alone
They seem to forget they've got a wife
This story is sad, but it's a true life
