VERSE
There's a hellhound on my trail
He tracks me down from road to rail

I gotta find Miss Billie Holiday and ask her whats another crying shame
I blame it on these n that n those or that broke down black cat bone
Nobody knows you when your down and out

But I can get on through and smile somehow

CHORUS

Cause oh I'm better, I'm better off with the blues
even when people say the thrill is gone Oh, I'm better, I'm better off with the blues
I can't be satisfied with sunny day songs


VERSE
This three times seven did me wrong

She wore them apron overalls and I thought what would Robert Johnson do
So I just hoped a train to dust my broom
Oh I'd rather be at the crossroads or at a silver spoon cabaret

I'd rather call the delta my home then own a high-rise anyway

CHORUS

Cause I'm better, I'm better off with the blues
even when people say the thrill is gone Oh, I'm better, I'm better off with the blues
I can't be satisfied with sunny day

songs

Solo


BRIDGE
All that I know is the jukebox told me so

Playing simple songs all night for a few dimes

Oh oh oh oh oh


CHORUS
Cause oh I'm better, I'm better off with the blues

Even when people say the thrill is gone Oh, I'm better, I'm better off with the blues
I can't be satisfied with sunny day songs
