Delbert McClinton Lyrics for Song: Everything I Know About The Blues
 Lyrics for Album: Room To Breathe [2002]
 
 
 
 34804>I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river
 
 The Army taught me how to shine my shoes
 
 The years have shown me that nothin' lasts forever
 
 But everything I know about the blues
 
 I learned from you
 
 
 
 I thought I'd seen my share of bad luck and hard times
 
 But nothin' set me up for what you put me through
 
 I learned a lesson that will hurt me for a lifetime
 
 'Cause everything I know about the blues
 
 I learned from you
 
 
 
 I know that promises are things that just get broken
 
 And you can't trust a woman's tears
 
 And if love is what you place your hope in
 
 All your hope may disappear
 
 
 
 In certain circles I've aquired a reputation
 
 But I give credit where credit is due
 
 Yes it's true I got a first rate education
 
 'Cause everything I know about the blues
 
 I learned from you
