[Intro - Bridge]
My songs are all so long
And my words are all so sad
Why must I choose
Between the best things I ever had?

[Verse 1]
I've got the love/art blues
Don't know which one to choose
There's really something to lose
With these love/art blues

[Verse 2]
I went and played too hard
And I lost my fun
Oh, these love/art blues
Leave me a heavy one

[Bridge]
My songs are all so long
And my words are all so sad
Why must I choose
Between the best things I ever had?

[Harmonica Break]
[Verse 3]
I spilled my promise cup
I really don't know why
Now the distance lies
Between you and I

[Verse 1]
I've got the love art blues
Don't know which one to choose
There's really something to lose
With these love art blues

[Outro]
I went and played too hard
