Gary Moore - That's Why I Play The Blues lyrics

Some people say why do you play the blues? Some even ask me if I paid my dues Tell them it's somethin' to get me through every time that I think of you That's why, that's why I play the blues Some people wanna know if the blues is here to stay Tell them I don't know, but that it's with me every day Stops me from fallin' down to the ground every time you're not around That's why, that's why I play the blues I don't know if it's wrong or right, but the blues is with me day and night Just don't ask me about the way I feel, all I know is that the blues is real Tell them it's somethin' to get me through every time that I'm thinking of you That's why, that's why I play the blues That's why I play the blues That's why I play the blues That's why, that's why I play the blues.
