Verses:
Just when you think you've got it all
you find out you got nuthin
You could have lost your life but a good man's hard to kill
Your Alice has gone to a Wonderland
with a guy your kids call Daddy
You got the soup bone she got the freezer and the meat
You knew her love had died when her kisses
felt more like mouth to mouth resuscitation
And the get-up and go she had got up and left
Now it's chewin the cud and reachin
for the bottle and the morning
you wake up dead on her side 'o the bed
Chorus:
Now the blues ain't nuthin but a good man
feelin down in Cincinnati
While it's pouring rain in Sunny Tennessee
It's a Yukon love turned cold as ice
and your burnin like Jamaica
but the Chinook winds of Alberta shall prevail
Verse:
What to do is sit back and look at your life
like an old Humphrey Bogart movie
from the window that you built that shields your heart
"Here's lookin at you Kid"
good-bye so long it was good to know ya
you see the blues ain't nuthin but a good man feelin down
