There's a woman in this town
Drowning in a river of her own tears
Crying for a man who's name she can't remember
Cause it's been too many years
Made up her mind
The day he left her behind
She's never find a man like hm again
So she closed the door
And never looked anymore
So of course she's been alone since then

She gave in to the blues
So you know she just had to lose
Soon as she gave in to the blues

There's a man who won't try to ask her why
He says only fools even play the game
Never had the breaks, the money that it takes
So he says he's not to blame
Started to drink
THe day he started to think
THe world was out to bring him down for good
So he closed the door
And drank a little bit more
And went down just like they said he would
He gave in to the blues
So you know he just had to lose
Soon as he gave in to the blues

They gave in to the blues
So you know they just had to lose
Soon as they gave in to the blues

No don't you give in to the blues
No, no don't you give in to the blues
No don't you give in
Don't you give in
Don't you give up
DOn't you give out
Dont' you give in to the blues
No, no don't you give in to the blues
