I've been beggin' you for all these years
To go easy on me
I'm just trying to figure out
Why you're doing this to me
Well, I ain't I ain't no beast of burden
And after all, I just wanna sing
I need to sing my blues away

I can't even sing my stories
'Bout love and days of glory
Can't spell my middle name out loud
'Cause I can't say a thing
Oh lord please have mercy on me
After all, I just wanna sing
Please let me sing my blues away

Yeah, I just want my stories to be heard
