Nobody Wants to Hear You Sing the Blues

Nobody Wants to Hear You Sing the Blues

1) I’ve been working the road;

Lord knows I’ve paid my dues.

Working the road; Lord knows I’ve paid my dues.

But when it’s time to shine,

Nobody wants to hear bad news.

2) Let the good times roll; that’s what the people say.

Let the good times roll; party to the break of day.

But when ya’ ain’t getting’ down, nobody wants to stay.

Nobody understands, Nobody gives a hand,

Nobody wants to hear you sing the blues.

Nobody understands, Nobody gives a hand,

Nobody wants to hear you sing the blues.

3) I’ve been out here so long; God knows how hard I try.

I give my heart and soul; God knows how hard I try.

But when it’s time to shine,

Nobody wants to see you cry.

4) I got a bag full of sad songs,

But that ain’t where it’s at.

Way too many sad songs,

and I can tell you that ain’t where it’s at.

‘Cause when it comes right down to it,

Ain’t nobody got time for dat.

Nobody understands, Nobody gives a hand,

Nobody wants to hear you sing the blues.

Nobody understands, Nobody gives a damn,

Nobody wants to hear you sing the blues.
