Lyrics

Everybody said it was your turn to fly
But they left you behind, and you didn't no why
But I saw your face....
I know what you've done, you got nowhere to run
'Cause you can't hide, from the face of these blues

Did a nickel out in Kansas, on a diamond affair
You swore it was the last time, you'd breathe that air
But it's hard to get by....
You're down on your luck, you can't make a buck
'Cause you can't hide, from the face of these blues

Chorus:
I.............I don't deny you,
Or try....., try to sympathize with you
For the weight of these blues
Will make you hide, hide, hide
But you can't hide from the face of these blues

Piano Solo-----Sax Solo

You got a fifty in your pocket and you get that itch
With your little girl at home you can't pull that switch
But your man on the corner finds you in time
Then you get to thinking that it's all in your mind
But you can't hide, from the face of these blues

Chorus---outro on repeated But you can't hide, from the face of these blues....
