All I wanted was some lovin’ in my life But I guess I hadn’t paid enough dues All I wanted was to find me a wife But I wind up singin’ the blues She said I don’t want you on the road every night I think you’re gonna have to choose It’s me or the band you can’t have both So I wind up singin the blues She said Why don’t you go and get you a job and stop messin around with that Guitar You’re just wasting your time, playing your music, in your two bit cheesy Bars But when I lost that job I lost that woman, but now I got nothin to lose Do your best except ain’t right, and you wind up singin the blues
