Learnin' The Blues

The tables are empty, the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song, it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning, just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson, in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light, one after another
Won't help you forget her and the way that you love her
You're only burnin', a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track, for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep, the whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her, soon you even stop tryin'
You'll walk that floor, and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd, those blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep, that whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her, soon you even stop tryin'
You'll walk the floor and you'll wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' those blues
