I was born in a cool place
That was longtime ago (repeat)
I had to leave one day
I can't recall how long i drove

I was born in a cool place
I had to leave when i was young (repeat)
I was thrown on the road
Sometimes the road isn't much fun

I got the blues where i was born
Though i wasn't born in mississipi (repeat)
You get the blues when it's to get
The blues don't let you choose the city

I got the blues
No matter where i got the blues
I got the blues
No matter where i got the blues
I got the blues so deep
What could i do i couldn't chose
