The tables are empty - 
the dance floors deserted
You play the same love song - 
its the tenth time youve heard it
Thats the beginning - 
just one of the clues
Youve had your first lesson - 
in learnin the blues

The cigarettes you light - 
one after another Wont help you forget her - 
and the way that you 
love her
Youre only burnin - a torch you cant lose
But youre on the right track - for learnin the blues

When youre at home alone, 
the blues will taunt you constantly
When youre out in a crowd, 
the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you dont sleep - 
the whole night youre cryin
But you cant forget her - 
soon you even stop tryin
Youll walk that floor - 
and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - 
youre learnin the 
blues

When youre at home alone, 
the blues will taunt you constantly
When youre out in a crowd, 
those blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you dont sleep - 
that whole night youre cryin
But you cant forget her - 
soon you even stop tryin
Youll walk the floor - 
and youll wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - 
youre learnin those blues
