about

It's just a great title which lends itself to some positive lyrics about keeping on keeping on in the face of adversity.

lyrics

Preachin The Blues (Full Band Version)
Thompson/Broomhall © 2004


If it’s alright with you I guess it’s alright with me
I can’t believe what you do, it’s really something to see
Well if that’s what you choose
You’ll hear me preaching the blues

I got no opinion that hasn’t been heard
(But) I don’t change my decisions and I stand by my word
Well you should follow my cues
When I’m preaching the blues

You know you’re so outrageous
For five minutes of fame
Seems it’s contagious
(You’re) all playing the game
While you’re making the news
I’ll be preaching the blues

You’ve taken leave of your senses
I’ve taken hold of my soul
You think I’m defenceless
But I’m still in control
Sit down in your pews
Cos I’m preaching the blues

You can shake in your shoes
Cos I’m preaching the blues
I got nothing to lose…
I’m just preaching the blues
