The tables are empty - the dance floors deserted
You play the same love song - its the tenth time youve heard it
Thats the beginning - just one of the clues
Youve had your first lesson - in learnin the blues
The cigarettes you light - one after another
Wont help you forget her - and the way that you love her
Youre only burning - a torch you cant lose
But youre on the right track - for learnin the blues
When youre at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When youre out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you dont sleep - the whole night youre crying
You just cant forget her - soon you even stop trying
Youll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - youre learnin the (those) blues
