The Blues Is In My Way
by Karen Lawrence and Fred Hostetler
Date 7/92

Well, I woke up this mornin’
Feelin’ sad and blue
Yes I woke up this mornin'
Feelin' sad and blue
You know my baby done quit me
Don’t know what I’m gonna do

You know I’m lonesome
The blues is in my way
You know I'm lonesome
The blues is in my way
Well, I may be down now
But I’ll be up some day

Ain’t it hard
Lovin’ another girl's man
Ain't it hard
Lovin' another girl's man
I can’t see him when I want to
I gotta see him when I can

I got to walk alone
And sleep all by myself
I got to walk alone
And sleep all by myself
While the man I love
Is lovin’ somebody else

Break:  I wake up every morning’
            ‘Bout the break of day
            I reach across my pillow
            Where his head used to lay
            My baby’s gone
            Bad luck is here to stay
            Well, I’m so sad and lonesome
            The blues is in my way
