Lyrics for Song: Too White to Sing the Blues
Lyrics for Album: House on Old Lonesome Road [MCA] [1989]



(Roger Murrah - Lacy J. Dalton)



The day I hit this music town looking for a deal

I was green as government ink on a twenty dollar bill

I signed a lot of papers, fidn't know what I had to lose

Make no mistake about it, now, you can't be too white to sing the blues.



Some folks make it fast down here, some folks make it slow

Learning how the hard way taught me everything I know

When that old highway is your teacher a country boy can get confused

But one thing I know for certain, you can't be too white to sing the blues.



I've learned how to whistle, I've learned how to lose

I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes

Well, you can laugh out loud if you want to

But you can't be too white to sing the blues.



--- Instrumental ---



Someday when I'm old and rich and I don't work no more

Gonna find myself a rockin' chair and sit on my front porch

And while that old sun is settin' a I'm gonna howl at the risin' moon

Well, you can go out rockin' now nut you can't be too white to sing the blues.



I've learned how to whistle, I've learned how to lose

I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes

Well, you can laugh out loud if you want to

But you can't be too white to sing yhe blues.



I said, you can't be too white to sing the blues, yeah...
