I want you to sing the blues
And tell me what you feel
I want you to sing the blues
And tell me this ain't real
Don't feel safe
I got nowhere to go
Ain't no place to hide
When the cold wind blows
Thinkin', been thinkin'
'Bout gettin' outta here
Moonshine light the way
'Cause my path's not clear
I want you to sing the blues
And tell me what you feel
I want you to sing the blues
And tell me this ain't real
For a couple of years
I been on this road
Ramblin' and roamin'
Ain't had no home
Never could get myself back on track
You can't look home when the devil's at your back
Well I looked that devil down
And I went another round
Yeah I looked that devil down, down
And I went another round
Yeah I looked him down
Down in his cold dark eyes
This devil won't leave me alone
He's been on my trail for quite some time
'Been a long way from home for a long time
Didn't think I'd get back
And here I am
And I'm singin' the blues
Been walkin' for quite a while
Ain't had much reprieve
I know if I sing this song to you
I'mma get some relief
Just a guitar strapped to my back
And the devil on my track
But as long as I keep movin'
This song's gonna stay alive
