I used to only know tears in my eyes I could never see the sun in the sky I lived so long with a thorn in my side I got so used to being unsatisfied
Now I'm happy Just sittin' round the house My bills are paid and My checks don't bounce I can't even crack a frown Since the blues slipped out of town
I used to work my fingers down to the bone And my baby would be sleepin' by the time I got home Couldn't go nowhere 'Cause my engine was blown The operator used to always turn off my phone
My bill collectors They don't never come around My car is runnin' And it don't break down
I can't even crack a frown Since the blues slipped outta' town
My baby left me But she came right back When I gave her the keys To that brand new Cadillac
I can't even crack a frown Since the blues slipped outta' town I ain't never been so down Since the blues slipped out of town
