 I Lost The Right To Sing The Blues

words: Karen Drucker & Rita Abrams;    music: Karen Drucker & John Hoy

I woke up this mornin’ and somethin’ was not right

my poor head was a-throbbin’ cause I tossed and turned all night This unfamiliar feelin’ it shook me up inside

The truth it was revealin’ that a part of me had died

So I called my higher self and she gave me the bad news

She said “Your life is just too good you lost the right to sing the blues!.

That broken down old Chevy that was eatin’ me alive I visualized a Lexus and now it’s sittin’ in my drive

And that man of mine that scoundrel that rotten low down bum I’ve transformed him into a love-God with a sizable trust fund Everywhere I looked I was confronted with the clues

my life was just so good – I lost the right to sing the blues…

Bridge:             You can sing the blues if you can’t pay the rent

And you can sing the blues if all your money’s been spent But how can I sing the blues – I ain’t got no excuse

when I’m driving in my Porsche on the way to my masseuse

So you won’t find me wailing late at night in some smoky bar And you won’t see me cryin’ tears into my old guitar

I’m too busy cleaning my chakras and chasing bad karma away and fluffing up my aura – well that could take all day

Now that I’m enlightened – I gotta spread the news

When life gets this darn good you’ve lost the right to sing the blues…

Bridge:             You can sing the blues when your best friend puts you down You can sing the blues if your man has done left town

But what gives me the right to sing that mournful tune when I’m steamin’ with my honey in my sauna in Cancun

So now you’ve heard my story and you understand the pain of searching and not finding any reason to complain

Cause my stars are in alignment – my house is all feng shui-ed I’m filled with peace and harmony – my bills have all been paid I’ve let go of the struggle – you know I’ve paid my dues

When life gets this darn good – you’ve lost the right to sing the blues…
