So you say it comes in around midnight
And drives your old head crazy
Like a pebble in your shoe
Or like a big old scary monster
Peeking in your closet
Don't worry darlin, it's only the blues
You don't want to go to sleep or wake up
in the morning
You don't want to be alone or meet no someone new
Cause he's running through your mind
Like a big old locomotive
Well don't worry darlin, it's only the blues
Don't blame it on the wind
Just because for once it's not behind you
It ain't some kind of karma paying back its dues
Annd it's not that God ain't been able to find you
So don't worry darlin, it's only the blues
