Blues When I Wake Up
Words and Music by Mark Nesmith

I've got blues when I wake up in the morning
I've got blues when I lay down at night
Blues when the sun is shining
I've got blues when I turn out the lights
I need me a good hearted woman
To love and treat me right

When I get back home to Texas
I’m gonna fall down on my knees
Thank the Lord above for mercy
I swear I’m never gonna leave
I've got me a good gal down there
The sweetest woman I’ve ever seen

But it’s been a month of Sundays
Since I’ve seen my woman smile
And it’s been too long since she kissed me
Lord it’s been such a long, long while
There won’t be no more sunshine
It's just blowing sleet and rain
There won’t be no more clear skies
Until I can hold my baby again

I’ve got blues when I wake up in the morning
I've got blues when I lay down at night
Blues when the sun is shining
I've got blues when I turn out the lights
I need my good hearted woman
To love and treat me right

Dark clouds up above my head
Spinning round like a Hurricane
Thunder and lightning all through the night
It’s enough to drive a poor man insane
I would walk 500 miles
Just to hold my baby again

I’ve got blues when I wake up in the morning
I've got blues when I lay down at night
Blues when the sun is shining
I've got blues when I turn out the lights
I need my good hearted woman
To love and treat me right
