Well I've just been thinking things over my heart is flowing with tears
You know my life just don't seem worth living and it's been this way for years

When my skies have all turned to grey now I just walk the soles off of my shoes
I just don't have much to save now I'm just knee deep in the blues

Well don't ask me why I am crying cause I've lost about all I can lose
There's no use in me crying cause I'm just knee deep in the blues
[ steel - trumpet ]
Well don't ask me why I am crying...
Oh you know I'm just knee deep in the blues
I'm just knee deep in the blues
