You Don't Know the Blues

If you ain't been to jail
 You don't know the blues
 And nobody post your bail
 You don't know the blues
 Lights ain't been off for 2 weeks
 You don't know the blues
 Sleeping out on the street
 You don't know the blues
 I've been living my life
 Trying to make amends for things I done
 If you ain't walked a mile in this man's shoes
 Brother, you ain't had the blues
 If the tax man took all your money
 You don't know the blues
 Your stomach hurtin' and hungry
 You don't know the blues
 If you ain't had nobody cheat on ya
 You don't know the blues
 If the police had heat on ya
 You don't know the blues
 If you ain't lost a deal
 You don't know the blues
 Had to beg borrow and steal
 You don't know the blues
 If you pawned your guitar
 You don't know the blues
 Or you're sleeping out in your car
 You don't know the blues
 If you ain't caught a flat
 You don't know the blues
 With no spare tire in the back
 You don't know the blues
