Well I've just been thinkin' things over My heart is flowing with tears My life just don't seem worth livin' And it's been this way for years My skies have all turned to gray now And I just walk sols all through my shoes Well I don't have much to sing now Well I'm just knee deep in the blues Well I've just been thinkin' things over My heart is flowin' with tears My life just don't seem worth livin' And it's been this way for years Don't ask me why I am be crying 'Cause I have lost about all I can lose Well there's just no use in trying Well I'm just knee deep in the blues
