You Always Got the Blues

Mickey Newbury

I wake up and think of her no matter what I do
She's always on my mind a time a day or two
Seems to me the things you love the most you always lose
But once you've got 'em you've always got the blues

In time well you may find someone else that can comfort you
But not someone to light the fire no not the way she used to do
You lose the things that made it what it was when it was new
And once you've got 'em you know you always got the blues

That new love only can replace just so much of you
That leaves a lot that gets lost between number one and number two
I'll be here till midnight looking for someone to lose
Once you've got 'em well you've always got the blues

I'll be here till midnight looking for someone to lose
Yes once you've got 'em well you've always got the blues
