Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway
Somewhere between here and where I'd been
And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win.
And now I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
Now I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox
And a steel guitar just beggin' me to cry
And those barroom ladies smilin' by the dozen
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time.
And now I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
Now I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately
I'll be damned if I'll believe that lining shines.
And now I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
Now I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
