Mother Blues (Taylor)

Only the blues can talk to me
Only the blues know how I feel
Only the blues can talk to me
Only the blues know how I feel
You know the blues don't take no prisoners
Mother Blues tells it like it is

The blues and I got high this morning
You know we cried until the sun went down
The blues and I got high this morning
You know we cried until the sun went down
She said, "Don't worry about a thing, Son
The blues will always be around"

Now she stopped by this morning
And took complete control
Crawled inside of my body
And began to massage my soul
Only the blues can talk to me
Only the blues know how I feel
You know the blues don't take no prisoners
Only the blues tells it like it is

Now she pulled up to my heartstring
And rubbed the pain away
And she whispered in my ear
"Now you listen to what I say
I'm on a special mission
And I don't have the time to play
I'm not here to give you the blues
I'm here to take the blues away"

Only the blues can talk to me
Only the blues know how I feel
The blues don't take no prisoners
Only the blues tells it like it is
Like it T-I-S is
