Can’t Play The Blues Blues

Woke up this morning
Felt like playing some blues guitar (I can’t lie)
Actually, I woke up this afternoon
Felt like playing some blues guitar
And I tried the best I could
But I didn’t get very far

I tried several different tunings
Even tried playing with a slide
I tried several different tunings
Even tried playing with a slide
But no matter what I did,
It just sounded like something crawled into my guitar and died

Well, I don’t know what it is
Maybe I’m just born to lose
I got the can’t play the blues blues

If I could play like Robert Johnson
I would gladly sell my soul
If I could play like Robert Johnson
I would gladly sell my soul
But, I can’t get in touch with Satan
I hear he works in Top 40 radio

Well, I don’t know what it is
Maybe I’m just born to lose
I got the can’t play the blues blues
