Lyrics

You Can’t Win Blues
Music by Art Lillard
Lyrics by Larry Browne & Art Lillard

Some days you wake up
And you don’t know what’s coming your way
Just around the corner an opportunity is in place
It’s right in your face
But you blink and miss it
And then it’s a waste
You didn’t see it comin’

[Spoken] Now dig this:

[Sung]
You got the phone call
That meant the contract for Carnegie Hall
Now you gotta get there but you get mugged while crossing the street
And you lost it all
So what now? Just stand there
And singin’ the blues
About the days you just can’t win

There’s not a thing that you
Can do about these blues
Because they’re comin’ at you every day, now, baby!

[Scatting]

So watch it, honey,
Be careful, sonny, ‘cause you might get burned
Livin’ in the fast lane it doesn’t guarantee you a hoot
Except that you lose
It quicker, so sit back
And dig what you’ve got
‘Cause more than that you just can’t win

You can’t win blues
