Lyrics
Living with the Country - Sleeping with the Blues
Well, I wake up in the morning
And I don’t know what to do
You see the tale that I’ve been telling
Well, it isn’t really true
Cos I’ve been living with the country
But I’ve been sleeping with the blues
Cos I’ve been living with the country
But I’ve be sleeping with the blues
Did you ever have a day dream?
And then somehow that dream came true
And then that thing you though you wanted
No longer gratifying you
CHORUS
You know there’s many many choices
Oh, how can anybody choose?
You see sometimes you pick a winner
Then other times you pick to lose
CHORUS
So, ask not for who the Wolf howls
You know he’s howling for you
And Etta James ’ll make you drunker
Than you ever were on booze
CHORUS
