Victim of the Blues

 



Listening to the radio

With his head hung low

He don't know what to do


Putting on her make-up

The girl she's not giving up

She's got a lot to do


The boy he hurts deep inside

Pain he just can't hide

He can't believe they're through


She paints on a smile

Going out for a awhile

She's got a lot to do


Broken love, young love

Nothing worse, that I can think of 

So much pain, must be insane

Don't feel like playing love's game


Every night he cries

Time and again he tries

But the boy's got the blues


She's out on the town

Won't let it get her down

She's shaken off the blues


Repeat Chorus


A note left on a table

Saying "he just wasn't able"

To leave their love behind


She got word of the news

That he died of the blues

That he couldn't leave behind


Listening to the radio

With her head hung low

She don't know what to do


All those tears yet to shed

Over the love she let die

Another victim of the blues
