There's a baby crying, a newborn who won't be content

When he becomes a man he'll wonder where his childhood went

He'll feel the pain of life, choke his last breath

Life is no bed of roses, these things he will confess

Life is the blues

Nothing we can do

Life is the blues

Nothing more to loose

The last time he saw his wife, she was marching out to sea

He was cruel and crazy, she was beautiful she's been set free

Lines on her face, the pain of reality

He broke her heart, then left her alone to be

Life is the blues

Nothing we can do

Life is the blues

Nothing more to loose

All this guilt he holds within, he let her slip away

It's too late to say those things she needed to hear him say

He never said I love you, I want you to stay

He'd give his soul to relive that day

He heard his son singing

Life is the blues

Nothing we can do

Life is the blues

Nothing mor to loose
