Let me tell you about my alma mater The colors are black and blue The mascot's a clown singin' sad songs To anyone who'll listen like you I've studied the words of great men Like George Jones Hank Williams John Prine I've handed in many a paper To probation officers on time The high cost of low pay I've reckoned And writing on the wall I read I can show you on my map dark places 'Cause I've earned my blues degree I remember playing on the sports team I was a runner from the boys in blue And I was active in the debate club Just ask every lover I knew I've stayed up and pulled all-nighters Reading for hours sad faces Studying beer labels and lighters Pretzels jokers and aces The high cost of low pay I've reckoned And writing on the wall I read I can show you on my map dark places 'Cause I've earned my blues degree I rolled up my diploma and smoked it And drank all my credits away I've opened my mind and soaked it With the knowledge of what I've paid Homecoming is held in a bar room And most of my teachers are in jail But they taught me many ways To screw up my life and fail Now you know all about my alma mater Where the colors are black and blue And the mascot's a clown singing sad song To fellow students like you The high cost of low pay I've reckoned And writing on the wall I read I can show you on my map dark places 'Cause I've earned my blues degree
