This is the song I will sing when I'm gone From the pain that you put me through ♪ It will help me out of this sad misery It will ease my troubled mind ♪ I've been sleeping and hiding inside I've been drinking and losing my pride If I had any left to lose Then I wouldn't be playing the blues ♪ I don't need you, though you think that I do But someday we will be an old memory ♪ Maybe someday when my pain goes away I will get up and get out, out and get free ♪ I've been sleeping and hiding inside I've been drinking and losing my pride If I had any left to lose Then I wouldn't be playing the blues If I had any left to lose Then I wouldn't be playing the blues Then I wouldn't be playing the blues If I had any left to lose
