My mama left when I was six years old And I've got nothing but the blues My father said son you're on your own And I've got nothing but the blues You know they kicked me out of my high school And I've got nothing but the blues Lost all my money trying to shoot some pool And I've got nothing about the blues And I'm fading, waiting around for someone to save me And I'm fading, waiting around for someone to save me, alright I had a girl and she broke my heart And I've got nothing but the blues I tried to leave but my car won't start And I got nothing but the blues I couldn't drive so I lost my job And I got nothing but the blues Cops broke in and they shot my dog and I got Nothing but the blues And I'm fading, waiting around for someone to save me. Oh And I'm fading, waiting around Won't somebody save me, alright! Solo Oh and I'm fading, waiting around And waiting around for someone Come and save me. Waiting around, Won't somebody save me, alright!
