Learnin' The Blues

Lyrics
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it That's the beginning - just one of the clues You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light - one after another Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her You're only burning - a torch you can't lose But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying But you just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying You'll walk that floor - and wear out your shoes When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly When you're out in a crowd, those blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - that whole night you're crying But you can't forget her - soon you even stop trying You'll walk the floor - and you'll wear out your shoes When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' those blues.
