Wail Them Blues

Intro

(oh yeah... mm-hmm)

Verse

Woke up this morning, tried to smile real wide

Put on a good suit, let the good times ride

Drank a little coffee, played a happy song

But something felt empty, something felt wrong

Chorus

You can't be happy, no you can't be happy

Not without wailing the blues

You can't be happy, no you can't be happy

Gotta wail them blues, yeah wail them blues

(oh lord, wail them blues)

Verse

Tried dancing in the sunshine, tried laughing with the crowd

Tried chasing after rainbows, tried calling myself proud

But every time I fake it, that old feeling creeps in

The only thing that fixes it is letting the blues begin

Chorus

You can't be happy, no you can't be happy

Not without wailing the blues

You can't be happy, no you can't be happy

Gotta wail them blues, yeah wail them blues

(oh lord, wail them blues)

Bridge

I can fake a grin all day long

But my soul knows where it belongs

(yeah it does, yeah it does)

Chorus

You can't be happy, no you can't be happy

Not without wailing the blues

You can't be happy, no you can't be happy

Gotta wail them blues, yeah wail them blues

(oh lord, wail them blues)

(wail them blues)

Outro

(oh yeah... mm-hmm)
