Life is hard boy it’s rough
You went and left me you said you had enough
I feel so lonely I got nothing to lose
But now that you’re gone
I got a licence to play the blues
Has anyone ever loved you as much as I do
Come on honey now and tell the truth
I never win and I can’t stand to lose
But now that you’re gone I got a licence to play the blue
Well it’s hard to be happy as everyone knows
I got bats in the bellfry and I’m chewing my toes
I want you back but you just refuse
But now that you’re gone I got a licence to play the blue
I’m getting old said goodbye to my youth
I won’t hold back I’ll tell you the truth
You went and left me and I feel like a fool
But now that you’re gone I got a licence to play the blue
