Blues Slip In

© 2008 Ami Worthen

Chorus:
I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ not to let the blues slip in
I’m tryin’ and I’m tryin’ but they always win
I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ not to let the blues slip in
But here I am, feelin’ blue again
Here I am, feelin’ blue again

Why doesn’t everything go my way?
Why don’t people do what I say?
Why am I having a lousy day?
I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ to feel o.k.

Chorus

Why does everything have to break?
Why do I feel such heartache?
Why do I make mistakes?
I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ for goodness sake.

Chorus

Singin’ a song ain’t gonna take my blues away.
Singin’ a song’s just gonna complicate.

Why does everything make me mad?
Why’s good fortune just a fad?
Why’s it seem like I’ve been had?
I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’, but still I’m sad.

Chorus
