i've got to change my way of living, 
cause trouble's all that i can see. 
i gotta change my way of living, 
lord trouble's all that i can see. 
my life is in such a mess, 
there ain't no one to blame but me. 
my good girl tried to tell me, 
wouldn't hear a thing she said. 
lord my good girl tried to tell me, 
wouldn't hear a lonesome thing she said. 
now she's taken her things and left me, 
no place for me to lay my head. 
blue, lord i'm blue. 
raining down on me. 
i gotta change my way of living, 
cause the blues is all i see. 
blue, lord i'm blue. 
raining down on me. 
i gotta change my way of living, 
change my way, 
the blues is all i see. 
now when your luck runs out, 
that's when your friends will run out too. 
lord, when your luck runs out, 
your fairweather friends will run out too. 
you're a very lucky man, lord 
if there is just one who'll stand by you. 
blue, lord i'm blue. 
the blues raining down on me. 
i gotta change my way of living, 
cause the blues is all i see.
