Arlo Guthrie - Major Blues lyrics

words and music by Arlo Guthrie There's sometimes I don't believe in nothing Sometimes I do That's why it hurts to believe in you Though I know that pain and sorrow Ain't nothing new It really hurts to be hurt by you Lost my job to no one Lost my baby to another man That's what I get for going to 'Nam Give my life to my country Now they put me on the welfare line No it won't be water but fire next time Sometimes I want to go back to the city Where I spent my youth Where I had nothing and nothing to lose Someday when this country needs a helping hand And they want mine l'll tell them "Buddy just get in line" And when my baby comes back crying Cause her lover ain't around no more I'll kick that smart a** out the door There's times I don't believe in nothing Sometimes I do That's why it hurts to believe in you Though I know that pain and sorrow Ain't nothing new It really hurts to be hurt by you It really hurts to be hurt by you
