title: ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE BLUES

you do everything to mak'em go away
but you know in the end there's nothin' you can do.
they tell you that it's part of lifes price you pay
so you try not to let'm get the best of you.
buildin' walls behind you,
hopin' that they won't find you
but you know when they do
you're gonna let'em walk on thru
so, you're tryin to stay...
one step ahead of the blues.

there ain't nobody that's immune.
though i've seen a lot of people hide it all inside.
but when they're alone it's a different tune,
tears tumble down like a landslide.
'cause when they've finally found you,
the walls crumble down around you,
you're hopin' that it's wrong,
but you know it's true...
your just tryin to stay...
one step ahead of the blues.
tryin to win in a game,
your bound to loose.
you tried every trick in the book,
you knew how to use,
there just ain't no way you can stay...
one step ahead of the blues.

...buildin' walls behind you,
hopin that they won't find you,
cause you know when they do

so you're tryin to stay...

tryin to win in a game,
that your bound to loose.
you've tried every trick in the book,
you knew how to use,
but there ain't no way you can stay
a step ahead of the blues.
you keep tryin to stay...
one step ahead of the blues.
