Now I couldve been a gambler
Cause Im good with the cards.
I could have been a lover
Breakin other hearts.
And I feel so silly
Bettin on the dice
And a lover seldom sees
The same girl twice.
Chorus
And that is why
Whoa, thats why I chose
I chose to sing the blues.
I couldve been a doctor
Helpin the sick.
I couldve been a lawyer
But you know that aint my stick.
Cause I feel so bad
If a patient didnt get well
And I feel just as bad
To leave a client in jail.
Chorus

| Now a man has a lot
That he could resent
Just to think
I could have been President
But I cant understand
What politicians say
So I want to talk to you
In my own little way.
Chorus
Yes, I did, friends.
Dont you know what I mean.
I like what Im doin.
You know I like the blues.
Everybody understands what I mean.
When I sing something like this here.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thats what Im talkin about when I sing.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
