Lyrics

BORN BLUE

Verse 1

Monday morning, storm warning
Sleep the day away
Tuesday blue skies
Again I try
Still I feel this way

Chorus

Mama says, it runs in the family
Doctor's done diagnosed me
Sorry son, there's nothing we can do
Boy, you were born blue

Verse 2

Manic depression, compulsive obsession
but I'm hangin' on
I'm not using
Pray I keep choosing
To get my therapy in writing songs

Chorus

Bridge

They keep tryin' to cure me of my ills
I keep tellin' em where they can put their pills
The side effects don't give me such a thrill
Demons in my head they can't kill, but I will

Solo

Verse 3

I accept it, I respect it
I guess its who I am
I'm not complaining
but its always raining
I do what I can

Chorus
