Well you walked in here and took that stool right next to me
And you just got through your sad life's history
I'd like a few words before you start again friend

Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin

I'm living in a world of misery
Life ain't been peaches and cream for me
And I ain't smiled since I don't know when friend

Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin

Yes I know what it's like to love and loose
I've stood and watched my golden dreams turn to blue
I've lost my love to someone I called my best friend

Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin
Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin
