Lyrics

ALL I GOTS THE BLUES

[VERSE ONE]

I once had me a sweet Cadillac
All full of leather and chrome
A butler and a maid and a swimming pool
All in my fine Texas home

I worked real hard, yeah, I had it all
You know I paid my dues
Then you came along took everything I had
Now all I gots the blues

[VERSE TWO]

Well I had me most every girl in town
I had 'em standin' in line
Some short some tall some round
And some so refined

Then the things you said and the things you did
Made the 10 o'clock news
Now I sit home alone and the phone never rings
And all I gots the blues

[CHORUS ONE]

Mama never mentioned girls like you
I gave you my best moves
Now that you're gone I see you took them too

[VERSE THREE]

Every one of my Italian silk ties
And all my diamond studs
My tooth brush, my tooth paste, my soap on a rope
You even took the suds

Now I'm standin here buck naked in the wind
And I ain't got a clue
How a woman like you could fool a man like me
Till all he's gots the blues

[CHORUS TWO]

Daddy warned me there'd be days like these
I shoulda listened when he said
Give her your loving but don't give her the keys

[CHORUS THREE]

Mama never mentioned girls like you
I gave you my best moves
Now that you're gone I see you took them too

[HALF VERSE FOUR]

And it don't matter that you're driving my car
You're your own excuse
What hurts is you're out there getting it all
And all I've gots the blues

[HALF VERSE FIVE]

And I'm standin here buck naked in the wind
And I ain't got a clue
How a woman like you could fool a man like me
Now all I gots the blues

All I gots the blues
All I gots the blues
Well all I got
All I gots the blues baby
