Текст: Marshall Crenshaw. Blues is King.

Blues is king, a beautiful thing
You just don't know whenever
You're done by the one you love
And the joke's on you

If you don't know it's true
If you lose your dreams
You'll know what I'm thinking of
Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring

Surrender do, to the sound so real and true
And relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it
So face it, blues is king

As the sun descends, rain begins
Everything in view is a dull shade of blue
And the traffic sounds, the lights uptown
Make a sad and uninviting scene to walk into
But the blue of the night

Everything in daylight
Don't even begin, to be as blue as the mood I'm in
You go out alone, on their way home
I'm wandering on, remembering only
That I'm lonely and blues is king

Blues is king, a beautiful thing
You just don't know whenever
You're torn by the one you love
And the joke's on you

If you don't know it's true
If you lose your dreams
You'll know what I'm thinking of
Yeah, blues is king, so let it ring

Surrender do, to the sound so real and true
Just relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine
Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it
So face it, blues is king
