One Step Ahead of The Blues — текст песни (J. J. Cale)

I aint high on cocaine

I dont need the pain

Its bad for your brain and thats true

I aint droppin no names

I aint playin no games

Im just one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues

From memphis to reno

From new york to tokyo

Ill try to come through for you

I wont do you in

I aint no fairweather friend

Im just one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues

I dont rob, I dont steal

I aint beggin no meal

I aint driven to drink, Im no fool

I dont run with the crowd

I dont talk big and loud

Im just one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues

Ive been under a spell

I aint been feelin well

Ive been in a shell, and thats true

Dealin with a curse

But it couldnt be worse

Ive been one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues
