Charlie Wood - I Almost Forgot About the Blues

I used to have a lot of luck
But all of it was bad
I lost my love, my way, my mind
Lost everything I’d had
I was just about to say
That I had nothing left to lose
But I almost forgot about the blues
Bout the blues

Heard a woman speak kind words
Felt her touch, saw her smile
I though that love had come my way
Hoped that it would stay a while
And my heart and soul were happy
Till my head told them the news
Man, I almost forgot about the blues
Bout the blues

I tried to run and hide away
Where trouble would not find me
But every time I turned around
The blues was right behind me

Thought my luck was finally changing
Thought my ship was coming in
I fantasised about barflies
Telling folks they knew me when
I got tangled up somewhere
Between the sweet talk and the booze
And I almost forgot about the blues
Bout the blues

You know, I never look for trouble
Try to live a quiet way
Many moons might pass quite peacefully
But there’d always come a day

So the whiskey isn’t working
And the well is running dry
It’s too tragic just to laugh it off
Too comical to cry
I’m just trying to find some peace of mind
And wondering what I’ll use
I almost forgot
I nearly forgot
I almost forgot about the blues
Bout the blues
Said I almost forgot about the blues
