Well, you meet someone and then you fall

Give your heart and lose it all,

Sit at home wondering what to do

Drink some wine to ease the pain

Find her on your mind again

well, that’s the way you learn to sing the blues

CH:

You can dream about marquee lights, movie stars, and private flights

Winning grammy’s on the evening news

It’s when your back’s against the wall

and there’s no friend that you can call

well, that’s the way you learn to sing the blues

You go out on the town, she walks by, you break down

And you know you’re acting like a fool

So you decide that you could win

with someone else, lose again

well, that’s the way you learn to sing the blues

CH

break

You don’t know how you’re gonna pay the rent

The girl is gone, the money’s spent

Never knew the world could be this cruel

She left you busted, broke and bent

You find her on your mind again

That’s the way you learn to sing the blues

you can frequent all the country bars, study all the super stars

master every lick that they use

when every thing gets blown apart,

the only thing standing is your empty heart

well, that’s the way you learn to sing the blues
