I've been hurtin' so bad
Since she been gone
I've tried to take comfort
In some old sad song
'Cause I feel a little better
Knowing someone hurts the way I do
Yeah, when I'm this far down
All that makes me happy is the blues

All that talk on TV
They shout about something
Nobody listening
Nobody say nothing
Seem like my old guitar
Is the only face I find the truth, yeah
This all world is going crazy
All that makes me happy is the blues

I'd love to hear that sweet Memphis soul
And that good old funky rock 'n' roll
But when I need some healin'
There's only one thing I turn to
All that makes me happy is the blues

There alone tonight
When everybody's gone
I turned down the lights
And put me some B.B. King on
Yeah, just like an old friend
It always pulls me through
Yeah, when I get down this low
All that makes me happy is the blues
Just like an old friend
You can count on to pull you through
When I get down this low
All that makes me happy is the blues
