 I've got to change my way of living,
 cause trouble's all that I can see.
 I gotta change my way of living,
 Lord trouble's all that I can see.
 My life is in such a mess,
 there ain't no one to blame but me.
 My good girl tried to tell me,
 wouldn't hear a thing she said.
 Lord my good girl tried to tell me,
 wouldn't hear a lonesome thing she said.
 Now she's taken her things and left me,
 no place for me to lay my head.
 Blue, Lord I'm blue.
 Raining down on me.
 I gotta change my way of living,
 cause the blues is all I see.
 Blue, Lord I'm blue.
 Raining down on me.
 I gotta change my way of living,
 change my way,
 the blues is all I see.
 Now when your luck runs out,
 that's when your friends will run out too.
 Lord, when your luck runs out,
 your fairweather friends will run out too.
 You're a very lucky man, Lord
 if there is just one who'll stand by you.
 Blue, Lord I'm blue.
 The blues raining down on me.
 I gotta change my way of living,
 cause the blues is all I see.
