Learnin' the Blues Songtext
von Willie Nelson

The tables are empty
The dance floor′s deserted
You play the same love song
It's the tenth time you′ve heard it
And that's the beginning
Just one of those clues
You've had your first lesson
In learning the blues

The cigarettes you light
One after another
Won′t help you forget her
And the way that you love her
You′re only burning
A torch that you can't lose
But you′re on the right track
For learning the blues


When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you′re out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you′re crying
But you can't forget her
Soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor
And wear out your shoes
And when you feel your heart break
You′re learning the blues

When you′re at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory


And the nights when you don′t sleep
The whole night you're crying
But you can′t forget her
Soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor
And wear out your shoes
And when you feel your heart break
You′re learning the blues

When you feel your heart break
You're learning the blues
