That's Why I Play The Blues - Gary Moore

Some people say

Why do you play the blues

Some even ask me

If I paid my dues

Tell them it's something

To get me through

Everytime that I think of you

That's why

That's why I play the blues

Some people wanna know

If the blues is here to stay

Tell them I don't know

But that it's with me every day

Stops me from falling

Down to the ground

Everytime you're not around

That's why

That's why I play the blues

I don't know if it's wrong or right

But the blues is with me day and night

Just don't ask me about the way I feel

All I know is that the blues is real

Tell them it's something

To get me through

Everytime that I'm thinking of you

That's why

That's why I play the blues

That's why I play the blues

That's why I play the blues

That's why

That's why I play the blues
