Lyrics
Never lived in a shotgun house but I missed a few meals
Talk about down and out
I know just how that feels
One day, it hit me like a thunderbolt
Little did I know
That was all she wrote
Can anybody tell me
What's a poor boy to do
I was struck down, struck down by the blues
Playing the blues ain't the land of milk and honey
You'd better pay your dues 'cause it ain't about the money
Heartache and loneliness
You know I've had my share
The blues can be your only friend when no one else is there
When it touches your soul, do what you gotta go
You've been struck down, struck down by the blues
Take a little advice
It's strictly a love affair
If you ain't all-in, no, you ain't gonna go nowhere
When you play the blues for people young and old
You give up all your worldly possessions 'cause all that glitters ain't gold
Outside the nine-to-five
Outside the curve
Takes a bit of sting out this big old nasty world
Could have gone another way
I simply refused
I was struck down, struck down by the blues
I was struck down, struck down by the blues
Nobody can help me paying my dues
Struck down by the blues
