Sometimes you fly so high
You can't find a place to land
Got money in the bank
A drink in your hand
When the love gets low
Someone's gonna lose
Cause our love is driftin, and it's a good day for the blues
When you shuffle your cards
You always have a winning hand
When luck is on a roll
You never have to take a stand
When the chips get low
You're gonna have to choose
Cause our love is driftin, and it's a good day for the blues
It's a good day, for Bobby Blue Bland
For the thrill is gone and Magic Sam
Whatever it takes, I do what I can do
To bridge this river that flows from me to you
Our love is driftin, but it's a good day for the blues
