The Blues Havin' Blues - The Damned Things

The Good Lord must have heard my prayers, because he packed up and disappeared

He took the praise and extravagant odes, and left the sting I’ve been dying to know

Someone should give that old devil his due

He taught me how to love only you

He taught me how to love only you

I know I owe my good fortune to him

Because he pulled me out of the trance now baby that faith had put me in

I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since the day I was born

Cleansed in the water, the sons and the daughters, stripped of the sins we’re

destined for

I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since I’ve been reborn

Drown in the water, the sons and the daughters, the kind of death worth living

for

The Good Stranger has seen me grieve

Saw the crooked old heart on my sleeve

He took the note I had written and said «Only sinners become better men»

Someone should give that old devil his due

He taught me how to love only you

He taught me how to love only you

Yea I owe the love of my woman to him

Because he pulled her out of the grave now baby that faith put her in

I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since the day I was born

Cleansed in the water, the sons and the daughters, stripped of the sins we’re

destined for

Well I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since I’ve been reborn

Drown in the water, the sons and the daughters, the kind of death worth living

for

I can’t live without the blues

I can’t love without the blues

I can’t sleep without the blues

The devil will take his pay so we’re alright

I can’t live without the blues

Oh I can’t love without the blues

I can’t sleep without the blues

Because he pulled me out the trance now baby that faith had put me in Well I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since the day I was born

Cleansed in the water, the sons and the daughters, stripped of the sins we’re

destined for

Well I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since I’ve been reborn

Drown in the water, the sons and the daughters, the kind of death worth living

for

I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since the day I was born

Cleansed in the water, the sons and the daughters, stripped of the sins we’re

destined for

Well I’ve been blessed with a broken heart since I’ve been reborn

Drown in the water, the sons and the daughters, the kind of death worth living
