Gary Moore - That's Why I Play The Blues Lyrics

Some people say
Why do you play the blues?
Some even ask me
If I paid my dues
Tell them it's somethin'
To get me through
Everytime that I think of you
That's why
That's why I play the blues

Some people wanna know
If the blues is here to stay
Tell them I don't know
But that it's with me every day
Stops me from fallin'
Down to the ground
Everytime you're not around
That's why
That's why I play the blues

I don't know if it's wrong or right
But the blues is with me day and night
Just don't ask me about the way I feel
All I know is that the blues is real

Tell them it's somethin'
To get me through
Everytime that I'm thinking of you
That's why
That's why I play the blues

That's why I play the blues
That's why I play the blues
That's why
That's why I play the blues
