Believe These Blues

As long as time keeps ticking, long as people have to cry
When I see loved ones leaving, saying last goodbyes
I believe these blues are never gonna die

When I see bad things happen to good folks everyday
Children going hungry with nothin’ on their plates
I believe these blues won’t ever go away

People try to end their troubles by drinking whiskey down
But I believe these blues will always be around

I can’t tell the future but I can play my song
I can’t tell the future but I sho' 'nuf can play my song
And I believe these blues will go on and on and on
