Depression Blues

Got a woman that loves me

And I love her so

But she's all dressed up now

With nowhere to go.

All our old hang-outs

Are boarded up and closed

Or bein' bought by somebody

Nobody knows.

But things ain't that bad

We still got the kids

We're goin' out to the movies

Right after this.

Goin' back to school

Savin' up my tuition

Gonna rewrite all the rules

On the old blackboard.

'Cause it seems things today

There ain't no magic in 'em

They don't cut the grade

Like they used to.

Depression blues

Nowhere to go

Bein' bought by somebody

Nobody knows.

Is there anybody out there

With a voice loud and clear

Gonna sing all the words

We all want to hear.

Depression blues

Nowhere to go

Bein' bought by somebody

Nobody knows.
