My Old Friend the Blues Lyrics

Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you
My old friend the blues
Another lonely night in a nameless town
The Sleep dont take me first you'll come around
I know I can always count on you
My old friend the blues
Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But your the only sure thing that I found
No matter what I do I'll never lose
My old friend the blues
Lovers leave and friends will let you down
And your the only sure thing that I found
No matter what I do I'll never lose
My old friend the blues
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
My old friend the blues
