Lyrics
GOOD MORNING, BLUES! That gleam in your eye Has faded and died. No bright tomorrows Are waiting for you. That spring in your step Has lost all its pep. The end of the road Has come into view. You fall asleep to bad news; Wake up to “Good morning, Blues!” You gotta repay your dues – Wake up to “Good morning, Blues!” That lilt in your voice Has left you by choice With unspoken dreams That never come true. That hot blush of youth Has cooled with the truth: Your race has been run; Time’s caught up with you. You fall asleep to bad news; Wake up to “Good morning, Blues!” You gotta repay your dues – Wake up to “Good morning, Blues!” Oh, so many years, A long trail of tears, Too many sorrows For one man to count. Just a few more years And you’re gone from here. You’re getting so close To the full amount. You fall asleep to bad news; Wake up to “Good morning, Blues!” You gotta repay your dues – Wake up to “Good morning, Blues!” Copyright © 2006 Lex Zaleta
