The Blues Havin' Blues

The good lord must have heard my prayers
 Because he packed up and disappeared
 He took the praise and extravagant odes
 And left the sting I've been dying to know
 Someone should give that old devil his due
 He taught me how to love only you
 (He taught me how to love only you)
 I know I owe my good fortune to him
 Because he pulled me out of the trance, now baby
 That faith had put me in
 I've been blessed with a broken heart
 Since the day I was born
 Cleansed in the water
 The sons and the daughters
 Stripped of the sins we're destined for
 I've been blessed with a broken heart
 Since I've been reborn
 Down in the water
 The sons and the daughters
 The kind of death worth living for

 The Good Stranger has seen me grieve
 He saw the crooked old heart on my sleeve
 He took the note I had written, it said
 "Only sinners become better men"
 Someone should give that old devil his due
 He taught me how to love only you
 (He taught me how to love only you)
 Yeah, I owe the love of my woman to him
 Because he pulled her out of the grave now, baby
 That faith had put her in
 I've been blessed with a broken heart
 Since the day I was born
 Cleansed in the water
 The sons and the daughters
 Stripped of the sins we're destined for
 I've been blessed with a broken heart
 Since I've been reborn
 Down in the water
 The sons and the daughters
 The kind of death worth living for

 I can't live without the blues
 I can't love without the blues
 I can't sleep without the blues
 The devil will take his pay so we're alright
 I can't live without the blues
 Oh, I can't love without the blues
 I can't drink without the blues
