I got up early this morning So I could walk the floor I've got to hit the streets Cause there's a wolf outside my door The bill collector's calling And my kids need better shoes Gonna go to church on sunday Cause I got nothing left to loose And it's a good day It's a real good day for the blues It's raining cats and dogs outside And I'm looking for a job The man I worked for laid me off Lord and I worked for him real hard But I won't let my kids go hungry No matter what I have to do And it's a good day, It's a real good day for the blues Things are getting better The check is in the mail I just threw my last dye in the wishing well And it's a good day, A real good day for the blues I got a up early this morning So I could walk the floor I've got to hit the streets Cause there is a wolf outside my door Gonna go to church on sunday Lord I got nothing to loose And it's a good day It's a real good day for the blues
