Good News Blues

Billy Joe Shaver

Well, my woman left me and I'm so glad she did
You know, my old gal left me and I'm glad she took the kids
Now I've got less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in my bed

I got the good news blues, I'm smiling on a rainy day
I got the good news blues, I sung all my troubles away
Ain't got no achin' bones, ain't got no bills to pay

You see these politicians just tell you what they think we want to hear
You know it's here one day and then it's right out that other ear
You know they promise us whiskey and they won't even give us no beer

I got the good news blues, I'm smiling on a rainy day
I got the good news blues, I sung all my troubles away
Ain't got no achin' bones, ain't got no bills to pay
