Where the Blues Begins

You take a man and a woman
That just can't get along
Sick and tired of doing each other wrong
Painful words are spoken
Pressures (??)
That they don't belong in here
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins

A young man on the street
Trying hard to make his way
Out there in this mean world it gets harder every day
He tried to find a good fight
He was starting a new life
But the (??) saw him closing in
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins

Where the blues begins
Way down on the bottom
You got the struggle to survive
Where the blues begins
Hard luck and trouble
Takes us totally on the line

It's the same old fight
You know you just can't win
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins

Where the blues begins
Way down on the bottom
You got the struggle to survive
Where the blues begins
Hard luck and trouble
Takes us totally on the line

It's the same old fight
You know you just can't win
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
It's the same old fight
You know you just can't win
