Like a prisoner, the lady lives the blues
It makes her money to feed her life
It ain’t no pleasure cruise
Every night is an endless cycle
Every day is more abuse
The lady lives the blues
The lady loves the blues

Escape, there’s no escape
From choices that she’s made
From New York to L. A
She can never get away
With a passing hot pursuit
She’s already paid the dues
Lady leaves the blues
Lady leaves the blues

On the Moon, the lady lives the blues
Taking chances night after night
The lady lives the blues

She can’t stand, she can’t stand this life
And there’s nothing left, nothing left to lose
The lady lives the blues
The lady lives the blues
Escape, there’s no escape
From choices that she’s made
From New York to L. A
She can never get away
With a passing hot pursuit
She’s already paid the dues
Lady leaves the blues
Lady leaves the blues
