I guess I was born to be blue
I guess I wasn't made for truce
I've tried it all but it's just no use
I guess I was born to be blue
Should I work for minimum wage
And live fun
Or make a mill
Joining the union
Just enough bills and change
To get this day done
Oh Lord show me the sun
Grew up in T dot
As they say
Moved to the country
And that's where I began to change
I saw there's more to life
Than nice clothes and fancy cars
It's how you live
And who you are
I guess I was born to be blue
I guess I wasn't made for truce
I've tried it all but it's just no use
I guess I was born to be blue
