Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me
Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me
Been down on my luck
Been down on my knees
Been down in the dumps under down dirty deeds
Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me
Sitting on the porch fanning my desires
My means of chasing them had four flat tires
Oh my, stuck there in Granby town
Was the blues gonna keep me where I were
No way
No how
No sir
Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me (no way, no how, no sir)
Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me (no way, no how, no sir)
Gonna take a deep breath fill my tires full fit
Gonna drive myself right outta all this bull
Sure I get the blues they won’t get me
It’s a sunny day on the outskirts of town
ain’t gonna see it if you let them blues keep you bound
to that porch like a pooch on a collar and a chain
don’t let them blues keep you there sobbin’ up the rain
Hell no, no way, no how, no sir
Hell no, no way, no how, no sir
They won’t get me
Hell no
They won’t get me
Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me (no way, no how, no sir)
Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me (no way, no how, no sir)
Been down on my luck
Been down on my knees
been down in the dumps under down dirty deeds
Sure, I get the blues
They won’t get me

Behind The Song...
Sure, I Get The Blues
“How does someone get the Blues living in Connecticut?”
Fair enough question, however...
Anywhere you SEE with your eyes wide open… you get the Blues.
Anywhere you THINK with your mind wide open… you get the Blues.
Anywhere you FEEL with your heart wide open… you get the Blues.
So the question is not, “How do you get the Blues?”
The question we must ALL ask ourselves is, “Am I going to let the Blues get me?”
