Lately I´ve been leaning toward to blues
The lazy loafing good for nothing no count knock around
It hasn´t been worth a honky dime since country come to town

I´ll tell you boys this waiting up for something´s got me down to nothing left to lose

And lately I´ve been leaning toward to blues
I said lately I´ve been leaning toward to blues
I´ve been leaning lately toward the blues
I´ve done held on until I can´t turn loose

Everything is everything and everybody knows
We can´t get nowhere by stepping on each other´s toes
And when it comes to Cotton Corners baby, anyway you get here is just fine
Because lately we´ve been doing double time

And lately I´ve been leaning toward to blues
I said lately I´ve been leaning toward to blues
I´ve been leaning lately toward the blues

I´ve done held on until I can´t turn loose
