Sorry Blues ©2021 David Coller (ASCAP)

Those sorry blues, those sorry blues
Won’t let me sleep at night
The party’s over and the band’s gone home
Bartender’s cleaning up, he’s polishing the chrome
All over town and round about
The lights are winking out
The city’s children are all fast asleep
But if I were in bed, I would be counting sheep

And all the songs I want to hear
Went off the radio sometime last year
Now everything they play has got that same sad, sorry sway
That leaves me achin’
Awake and

A lonely cop out on the beat
Walks down a lonely street
I hear him whistling a sad old tune
Stares up at the streetlight wishin’ it could be the moon
The stars are bright up in the sky
Above the clouds, but I
Can’t hope to see them while the rain pours down
Gushin’ through the gutters ‘til the last catfish is drowned

And all my good friends are out of town
And all them other friends don’t come around
Doesn’t matter anyway because there’s nothin’ they could say
To stop the achin’
I’m breakin’

The girl is gone, the world’s not right
It’s hours ‘til daylight
We’re out here walkin’ in the rain alone
Me and those sorry, sorry blues
It’s just the two of us in the rain alone
Just me and those sorry, sorry blues
