Just when every ray of hope was gone. I should have known that you would come along. I can't believe I ever doubted you. My old friend the blues. Another lonely night a nameless town. If sleep don't take me first you'll come around. 'Cause I know I can always count on you. My old friend the blues. Lovers leave and friends will let you down. But you're the only sure thing that I've found. No matter what I do I'll never lose. My old friend the blues. Just let me hide my weary heart in you. My old friend the blues.
