[Verse 1]
Lately I've been leaning toward to blues
The lazy loafing good for nothing no count knock around
It hasn't been worth a honky dime since country come to town
I'll tell you boys this waiting up for something's got me down to nothing left to lose

[Chorus]
And lately I've been leaning toward to blues
I said lately I've been leaning toward to blues
I've been leaning lately toward the blues
I've done held on until I can't turn loose

[Verse 2]
Everything is everything and everybody knows
We can't get nowhere by stepping on each other's toes
And when it comes to Cotton Corners baby, anyway you get here is just fine
Because lately we've been doing double time

[Chorus]
