One Step Ahead Of The Blues
I ain't high on cocaine
I don't need the pain
It's bad for your brain & that's true
I ain't droppin' no names
I ain't playin' no games
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
From memphis to reno
From new york to tokyo
I'll try to come through for you
I won't do you in
I ain't no fairweather friend
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
I don't rob, i don't steal
I ain't beggin' no meal
I ain't driven to drink, i'm no fool
I don't run with the crowd
I don't talk big & loud
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
I've been under a spell
I ain't been feelin' well
I've been in a shell, & that's true
Dealin' with a curse
But it couldn't be worse
I've been one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
