(Larry Cordle/Mike Anthony)

I've been workin' at forgettin'
Since you said goodbye
Lookin' for some good times
The best money can buy
But it's a bad investment
There's no longer dividends
You can't buy happiness
Heal a hear that just won't mend
I've never thought that I'd be missin' you this way
I should of paid you more attention
But now it's too late
You can buy a night out on the town
You can buy love for crews
But you can't buy your way out of the blues

No you can't buy your way out of the blues
You can spend your fool self sinin'
But your money's all you lose
Lord life just can't be bought and paid for
And that's the truth
No you can't buy your way out of the blues

My pocket book is empty
But I'm still fellin' bad
I might as weel admit it
Your the last good time I had
It's been a high price lesson
I can't justify the cost
I tried buyin' your memory
But it's all invane
Because I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way
I should of paid you more attention
But now it's too late
You can buy a night out on the town
You can buy love for crews
But you can't buy your way out of the blues

No you can't buy your way out of the blues
You can spend your fool self sinin'
But your money's all you lose
Lord life just can't be bought and paid for
And that's the truth
No you can't buy your way out of the blues

Lord life just can't be bought and paid for
And that's the truth
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
