I've got to change my way of living   'Cause trouble's all that I can see   I gotta change my way of living   Lord, trouble's all that I can see      My life is in such a mess   There ain't no one to blame, but me   My good girl tried to tell me   Wouldn't hear a thing, she said      Lord, my good girl tried to tell me   Wouldn't hear a lonesome thing, she said   Now she's taken her things and left me   No place for me to lay my head      Blue, Lord, I'm blue   Raining down on me   I gotta change my way of living   'Cause the blues is all I see      Blue, Lord I'm blue   Raining down on me   I gotta change my way of living, change my way   The blues is all I see      Now, when your luck runs out   That's when your friends will run out too   Lord, when your luck runs out   Your fairweather friends will run out too      You're a very lucky man, Lord   If there is just one who'll stand by you      Blue, Lord, I'm blue   The blues raining down on me   I gotta change my way of living   'Cause the blues is all I see
