[Verse 1]
I know that most folks, they like a good joke
Laughing and wearing a smile
A place where the good times flow like a good wine
And love songs are always in style

[Chorus]
But the blues are alive and well
I'm living proof that heartache still sells
As long as there's whiskey, a song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well

[Verse 2]
Bartender, hit me, my glass is half empty
And has been since shе's been gone
I heard her nеw guy goes great with her new life
Seems like the world's moving on

[Chorus]
But the blues are alive and well
I'm living proof that heartache still sells
As long as there's whiskey, a song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well
[Bridge]
Turn up that jukebox and turn down the lights
And let me be lonely tonight

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Outro Chorus]
As long as there's whiskey, a song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well
