Learnin’ the Blues
[Verse 1]
The tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
It's the 10th time you've heard it
[Chorus]
That's the beginning
Just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson
In learnin' the blues
[Verse 2]
The cigarettes you light
One after another
Won't help you forget her
And the way that you love her
[Chorus]
You're only burnin'
A torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track
For learnin' the blues
[Verse 3]
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
[Verse 4]
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're crying
But you can't forget her
Soon you even stop trying
[Chorus]
You'll walk that floor
And wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' the blues
[Bridge]
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
Those blues will haunt your memory
[Verse 4]
The nights when you don't sleep
That whole night you're crying
But you can't forget her
Soon you even stop trying
[Chorus]
You'll walk the floor
And you'll wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' those blues
The tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
It's the 10th time you've heard it
[Chorus]
That's the beginning
Just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson
In learnin' the blues
[Verse 2]
The cigarettes you light
One after another
Won't help you forget her
And the way that you love her
[Chorus]
You're only burnin'
A torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track
For learnin' the blues
[Verse 3]
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
[Verse 4]
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're crying
But you can't forget her
Soon you even stop trying
[Chorus]
You'll walk that floor
And wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' the blues
[Bridge]
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
Those blues will haunt your memory
[Verse 4]
The nights when you don't sleep
That whole night you're crying
But you can't forget her
Soon you even stop trying
[Chorus]
You'll walk the floor
And you'll wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' those blues
