Good News Blues Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

My woman left me, and I′m sure glad she did
My old gal left me, and I'm glad she took the kids
Now I got less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in the bed


I got the good news blues, smilin′ on a rainy day
Got the good news blues, done sung all my troubles away
Ain't got no achin' bones, ain′t got no bills to pay

A politician will say what you want to hear
Lord, it′s here one day and right out the other ear
He'll promise you whiskey and won′t even give you a beer

Got the good news blues, smilin' on a rainy day
Got the good news blues, done sung all my troubles away
Ain′t got no achin' bones, ain′t got no bills to pay
