[Verse:]
I come from the country
Grew up poor but proud
There are places I ain't welcomed
In a highfalutin crowd
I slipped in the back door
Still I never got my share
But the blues don't care

My best friend had to tell me
What I could never see
What that woman did the best
Was run around on me
I had to learn the hard way
That all in love ain't fair
But the blues don't care

[Chorus:]
The blues don't care
No, the blues don't care
You can cuss and complain
Till it drives you insane
But the blues don't care

[Verse:]
I tried to reach for higher ground
Never dreamin' I could fall
I believed that I could fly
High above it all
Talk about hitting bottom
Brother I have been there
And the blues don't care

I've often talked with Jesus
Told it all to Him
I am afraid I told Him too much
For Him to let me in
Chances are He'll lose my number
When the roll is called up there
But the blues don't care

[Chorus:]
Lord, the blues don't care
No, the blues don't care
You can cuss and complain
You can say it just ain't fair
But the blues don't care

The blues don't care
