Lately I Been Leanin' Toward the Blues Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Lately I′ve been leanin' toward to blues
The lazy loafin′ good for nothin' no count knock around
Ain't been worth a honky dime since country come to town
I′ll tell you boys this waitin′ up for somethin's got me down to nothin′ left to lose


And lately I've been leanin′ toward to blues
I said lately I've been leanin′ toward to blues
I've been leanin' lately toward the blues
I′ve done held on till I can′t turn loose

Everything is everything and everybody knows
We can't get nowhere by steppin′ on each other's toes
And when it comes to Cotton Corners baby anyway you get here is just fine
′Cause lately we've been doin′ double time

And lately I've been leanin' toward to blues
I′ve been leanin′ lately toward the blues
Done more soul in my old holy shoes
I said lately I've been leanin′ toward to blues
