All I wanted was some lovin’ in my life
But I guess I hadn’t paid enough dues
All I wanted was to find me a wife
But I wind up singin’ the blues

She said

I don’t want you on the road every night
I think you’re gonna have to choose
It’s me or the band you can’t have both
So I wind up singin the blues

She said

Why don’t you go and get you a job and stop messin around with that
Guitar
You’re just wasting your time, playing your music, in your two bit cheesy
Bars

But when I lost that job I lost that woman, but now I got nothin to lose
Do your best except ain’t right, and you wind up singin the blues
