Merle Haggard, George Jones - Born With The Blues

Dad was my hero, God called him away
Mama was lonely and I was afraid
With no one to lean on, I turned to the booze hard

times come early when you?re born with the blues

Railroads were leaving, and airplanes were in
a great war was brewing, about to begin
Hungry and lonesome, nothing to

lose raised in a boxcar and born with the blues

Born with the Blues, trouble in mind
smoking and drinking, by the time I was 9
In debt from the start, still paying my

dues crazy and lonely, and born with the blues

In spite of the cocaine, in spite of it all
God gave me a woman to cushion the fall
You?re like Paul of the Bible

spreading good news
A man on a journey born with the blues

Born with the Blues, trouble in mind
smoking and drinking, by the time I was 9
In debt from the start, still paying my

dues crazy and lonely, and born with the blues

Crazy and lonely and born with the blues
Dad was my hero, God called him away
Mama was lonely and I was afraid
With no one to lean on, I turned to the booze hard

times come early when you?re born with the blues

Railroads were leaving, and airplanes were in
a great war was brewing, about to begin
Hungry and lonesome, nothing to

lose raised in a boxcar and born with the blues

Born with the Blues, trouble in mind
smoking and drinking, by the time I was 9
In debt from the start, still paying my

dues crazy and lonely, and born with the blues

In spite of the cocaine, in spite of it all
God gave me a woman to cushion the fall
You?re like Paul of the Bible

spreading good news
A man on a journey born with the blues

Born with the Blues, trouble in mind
smoking and drinking, by the time I was 9
In debt from the start, still paying my

dues crazy and lonely, and born with the blues

Crazy and lonely and born with the blues
