You might say the reason
I was put on this earth
Was to pour out my heart every day
It's just what comes natural
Like takin' a breath
I could sing what I never could say

I put quite a few tears into quite a few beers
Yes, I've worn my soul on my sleeve
Laid out there for the whole world to see

Yeah, the blues have been
My old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame

I lived all the lyrics
For better or for worse
The drinkin', the cheatin' and the lyin'
Well, I guess I walked it
Just how I talked it
Both eyes wide open but stone blind

I wonder how many angels
Are waitin' for me
To finally fall down on my knees
And then put me back up on my feet

Lord, the blues have been
My old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame

I miss them old friends of mine
That left me behind
Seems like so many gone home
Yeah, but I still sing with em'
And I sure won't forget em'
I live the life of an old country song

Lord, the blues have been
My old boss man
And lovesick it knows me by name
You could say I was lonesome for a livin'
And heartache is my claim to fame

Oh and heartache is my claim to fame
