Mama never said it would be easyIf only she would take my hand and show me what to doIt gives me the blues to walk the long and narrow path I doBut you have to get the blues to get anywhere at allYou have to get the blues to get anywhere at allI just want to live my life in harmonyThe way I try you'd think I'd see it frequentlyWhy do I keep getting fussin', fightin', cussin', strife and troubleYou have to get the blues to get anywhere at allYou have to get the blues to get anywhere at allMama never said it would be easyBut she never told me it would be so hardSoftening the edges doesn't please meIt could never soothe my searching heartDimestore puzzles fit together nicelyBut the pieces of my life don't fit preciselyStories mama told me always had a happy endingBut I have to tell my own to get anywhere at allI have to tell my own to get anywhere at allMama knew the rules and kept on smilingEven though her spirit was in hidingBut when I hide my thoughts collideSongtexteAnd I get caught up in the lieYou have to kiss the sky to get anywhere at allYou have to kiss the sky to get anywhere at allMama never said it would be easyBut she never told me it would be so hardSoftening the edges doesn't please meIt could never soothe my searching heart.
