Lyrics
Some Kinda Blues
By Steve Burdette & Randy Bishop (ASCAP)
©2016, Rokit Music
Lookin' in the mirror, don't recognize the face
I check the lotto every day, no prize for second place
The crap the world sends my way, I take it all in stride
But time seems like an enemy, it's sure not on my side
Lookin' for some answers, just something I can use
Not sure of what I got today, must be some kinda blues
Workin hard every day, tryin' to make my way
Not lookin' for an easy path, I got some dues to pay
But money changes everything, it's all about the win
My dreams are all I got right now, I need to cash 'em in
Can't find nobody else to blame, no one I can accuse
Not sure of what I got this week, must be some kinda blues
Must be...some kind of blues
That's what I use, as an excuse
To keep that stupid grin in check so I can just maintain
That air of cool, that look of smooth, the face that shows no pain
The world is just so complex, and it thinks that I'm a fool
It's all so damned confusing, well there needs to be a rule
To tell me how to act and talk, so I don't have to fret
A PC guide to show the way so no one gets upset
Not sure of what I need right now, maybe some kind of booze
Don't know just what I got this year, must be some kinda blues
Must be...some kind of blues
That's what I use, as an excuse
To keep that stupid grin in check so I can just maintain
That air of cool, that look of smooth, the face that shows no pain
