Lately I’ve been leanin’ toward to blues The lazy loafin’ good for nothin’ no count knock around Ain’t been worth a honky dime since country come to town I’ll tell you boys this waitin’ up for somethin’s got me down to nothin’ left to lose And lately I’ve been leanin’ toward to blues I said lately I’ve been leanin’ toward to blues I’ve been leanin’ lately toward the blues I’ve done held on till I can’t turn loose Everything is everything and everybody knows We can’t get nowhere by steppin’ on each other’s toes And when it comes to Cotton Corners baby anyway you get here is just fine Cause lately we’ve been doin’ double time And lately I’ve been leanin’ toward to blues I’ve been leanin’ lately toward the blues Done more soul in my old holy shoes I said lately I’ve been leanin’ toward to blues
