You know I ain't got the blues
But I'm trying so hard
You know I ain't got the blues
But I'm trying so hard
You know I am such a slacker
I’ve got my girl and my car

Don't care what they say
I know my troubles are tough
Don't care what they say
I know my troubles are tough
Cause when she gets mad at me
Nothing that I do is enough

You know I ain't got the blues
But I'm trying so hard
You know I ain't got the blues
But I'm trying so hard
You know I am such a slacker
But still have my girl and my car

I like to play slide guitar
Using bottles I dried
I like to play slide guitar
Using bottles I dried
And if I get hammered
I still can play the blues if I try

You know I’m getting the blues
But not trying so hard
You know I’m getting the blues
But not trying so hard
You know I was such a slacker
Now ain't no girl, ain't no car
