My story begins
Where most stories end
After the boy gets the girl

It didn't work out for me
And I'm blue as I can be
It's the mighty lonesome old world

Who was a fool that said
"There's blues skies ahead
After the boy gets the girl?"

The only blues I've seen
Is the blues from broken dreams
It's the mighty lonesome old world

I think I'll fall back again
To where my heartache began
Back when your love for me was true

But time moves along
Carryin' not who's right or wrong
After the boy gets the girl

A love once sweet and true
Is the no love prove untrue
It's the mighty lonesome old world

I think I'll fall back again
To where my heartache began
Back when your love for me was true

But time moves along
Carryin' not who's right or wrong
After the boy gets the girl

A love once sweet and true
Is the no love prove untrue
It's the mighty lonesome old world
