Just around the corner there's heartache
Down the road all losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops of my friend
I'll meet you at the home of the Blues

I walk and I cry as my heartbeat
Keeps in time with the drag of my shoes
The sun never shines through this window of my mine
It's dark here at the home of the Blues

But this place is filled with sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that I cry
Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die

So if you just lost your sweetheart
And you ain't got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
I'll meet you at the home of the Blues

But this place is filled with sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that I cry
Dreams that I had left me feeling oh so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die

So if you just lost your sweetheart 
And you ain't got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company 
Welcome to the home of the Blues
I'll take you at the home of the Blues
