I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river
2
The army taught me how to shine my shoes
3
The years have shown me that nothin' lasts forever
4
But everything I know about the blues
5
I learned from you
6
I thought I'd seen my share of bad luck and hard times
7
But nothin' set me up for what you put me through
8
I learned a lesson that will hurt me for a lifetime
9
'Cause everything I know about the blues
10
I learned from you
11
I know that promises are things that just get broken
12
And you can't trust a woman's tears
13
And if love is what you place your hope in
14
All your hope may disappear
15
In certain circles I've acquired a reputation
16
But I give credit where credit is due
17
Yes it's true I've got a first rate education
18
'Cause everything I know about the blues
19
Everything I know about the blues
20
Everything I know about the blues
21
I learned from you
