Certified Blues

[Verse 1]

I woke up this morning

With these certified blues

They sure been stalking me round

So down tonight I couldn't tie my shoes

They 'bout to drop me in the ground

[Chorus]

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind

These certified blues

Are going to take their time

[Verse 2]

I've been living here, way down south

A place that I want to stay

Been working hard just to feed my mouth

Just can't keep them blues away

[Chorus]

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind

These certified blues

Are going to take their time

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine

[Instrumental break 1:32-2:37]

[Verse 3]

You say you're feeling bad

And you don't know why

You're broke and your woman been lying

And just one thing before I'm fired

The blues have just been certified

[Outro]

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind

These certified blues

Are gonna take their time
