I'm crying
but I aint dying
I aint lying
but I'm crying
they say a man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do
but all I can say
is boo hoo hoo
my daddy tole me
a man don't cry
but my momma say
why baby why
they's so many things
put a hurt in my heart
but trying to explain
don't have no start
I guess I could talk
bout how my baby left me
I guess I could explain
the world won't let me be
they push and they shove
put me in a can
and when I complain
they don't give a damn
so I'm trying
I'm trying
but I'm crying
when I woke up today
I put on my shoes
and tried to forget
the crying blues
they say a man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do
but all I can say
is boo hoo hoo
it's in my gut
and it's in my head
and it will be writ on my stone
when I'm good and dead

Reviews of "CRYING BLUES song lyrics by Joel Sattler"
Now that's taking the blues to the limit! Something I'd like to see Roy Orbison singing if only he were still alive, or Janis Joplin, and that ain't no jive.
Sandie :o)
