Once You're Past The Blues - Willie Nelson

I told myself i needed the blues

like i need a loaded pistol at my hip

but the blues help me to get over you

and now i´m seeing blue skies up ahead

sometimes the blues are necessary

though they´re quite a load to carry

when the nights are long and weary

and your heart is torn in two

i couldn´t take what you were giving

i thought that i was tired of living

life gets better once you´re past the blues

i´m not recommending the blues

i´m just saying how they work for me

anyway what is there left to lose

except what little´s left of sanity

sometimes the blues are necessary

though they´re quite a load to carry

when the night is long and weary

and your heart is torn in two

i couldn´t take what you were givin

thought that i was tired of living

life gets better once you´re past the blues

life gets better once you´re past the blues
