[Verse 1]
Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known you would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you
My old friend, the blues

[Verse 2]
Another lonely night, a nameless town
If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around
I know I can always count on you
My old friend, the blues

[Chorus]
Lovers leave and friends let you down
You're the only sure thing I have found
No matter what I do, I'll never lose
My old friend, the blues

[Outro]
Let me hide my weary heart in you
My old friend, the blues
