One Step Ahead Of The Blues Lyrics

One Step Ahead Of The Blues by J.J. Cale

I ain't high on cocaine
I don't need the pain
It's bad for your brain
And that's true

I ain't droppin' no names
I ain't playin' no games
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues

From Memphis to Reno
From New York to Tokyo
I'll try to come
Through for you

I won't do you in
I ain't no fair weather friend
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues

I don't rob, I don't steal
I ain't beggin' no meal
I ain't driven to drink
I'm no fool

I don't run with the crowd
I don't talk big and loud
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues

Well, I've been under a spell
And I ain't been feelin' well
I've been in a shell
And that's true

I'm dealin' with a curse
And it couldn't be worse
I've been one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
