Lyrics of David Perry – The Blues Ain’t What It’s All Cracked Up To Be

I’ve always heard from everyone,
you have to pay your dues
When everything is said and done,
only way to sing the blues
But the farther I went down that road
it became quite clear to me
The Blues ain’t what it’s all cracked up to be

(Chorus)
The Blues ain’t what it’s all cracked up to be
I should just admit my failures and bow out gracefully
Feeling pain’s not the only way that you can be set free
The Blues ain’t what it’s all cracked up to be

Thought I’d get inspiration,
by living through hard times
Nothing but frustration comes to mind
I sabotaged each romance,
that would slide right up to me
The Blues ain’t what it’s all cracked up to be

(Chorus)

Now I sit here in this lonely room,
pen and paper in my hand
And try to make some sense
of who I am
The dream of fame and fortune,
will never come to me
The Blues ain’t what it’s all cracked up to be

(Chorus)
