Everything I Know About The Blues Lyric

by Delbert Mcclinton

Lyric:



I Learned To Swim When Daddy Threw Me In The River

The Army Taught Me How To Shine My Shoes

The Years Have Shown Me That Nothin' Lasts Forever

But Everything I Know About The Blues

I Learned From You



I Thought I'd Seen My Share Of Bad Luck And Hard Times

But Nothin' Set Me Up For What You Put Me Through

I Learned A Lesson That Will Hurt Me For A Lifetime

'cause Everything I Know About The Blues

I Learned From You



I Know That Promises Are Things That Just Get Broken

And You Can't Trust A Woman's Tears

And If Love Is What You Place Your Hope In

All Your Hope May Disappear



In Certain Circles I've Acquired A Reputation

But I Give Credit Where Credit Is Due

Yes It's True I've Got A First Rate Education

'cause Everything I Know About The Blues

Everything I Know About The Blues

Everything I Know About The Blues

I Learned From You
