I try to keep smiling
Have on my happy face
Got a new job
Joined the human race
Have me a home
And a family too
No complaints, no big issuesBut the blues keep on calling
No matter where I roam
And the blues keep on crawling
Following me round, dragging me downI got me a man, got on with my life
I'm gonna make it
No trouble no strife
Get through the day
With my head above ground
Keep grinding on
Look, I'm happiness boundBut the blues keep on calling
No matter where I roam
And the blues keep on crawling
Following me round, dragging me downThey won't stop nagging
Those sweet memories
Of times gone by, when I was truly happy
I'm struggling on, keep trudging along
Can't fight it no more
But I got to be strong
And keep up this pretence
Let nobody downBut the blues keep on calling
No matter where I roam
And the blues keep on crawling
Following me round, dragging me down
