Lost My Baby For The Blues

Left my baby back home
didn't think it would be this hard
to be so close to what I want
but still so very far

I'm looking at her picture
it's been so long
since I've seen her face to face
and I left to sing my songs

CHORUS
Got a long road ahead
left so much behind
lost my baby for the blues
can't afford to lose my mind

Called her up last night
said I left her with the blues
between a rock and a hard place
but I know one thing is true

CHORUS

Everybody wants something
long nights, no sleep
The price to pay for being a bluesman
sure as hell ain't cheap
