The Fighting Blues

I’m like a losing fighter, been knocked down for the count

Got to get back on my feet, and fight another round

But I been hit so hard , just want to stay down on the ground

They say the darkest hour is just before dawn

And they say what doesn't kill you, will only make you strong

They say everything happens for a reason - but you know they could be wrong

My eyes are on the prize

I try not to despair

Blues is my one true faith

I know she’ll take me there

I lost my job, the future’s in a haze

Been kicked to the curb, discarded and disgraced

Can’t say what’s on my mind, I don’t think too straight these days

She sleeps like a child

Her conscience is clean

I watch her through the night

And I think of all my sins

She tells me not to worry, everything's gonna be alright

I sing her name in the morning, thank the gods for her each night

With you in my corner baby, I can win most any fight
