"Set The Blues Back" lyrics

When I woke up this morning, my love was lyin' next to me
Every heartache that I ever had was just a memory
And she kissed me with her tender lips and softly whispered in my ear
"Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years"

And there'd be no more sad songs
No more reason for a saxophone
B.B. King might as well stay home
Ray Charles and even old George Jones
Close the door to the Heartbreak Hotel
No more cryin' time here
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years

If we don't live in a mansion
Way up high on a hill
We don't drive a Mercedes- Benz
Never have and never will
But there's a whole lot of feel good goin' on around here
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years

There'd be no more sad songs
Blue Mondays would all be gone
They'd have to close down New Orleans
Beal Street in Memphis, Tennessee
If the whole world had a love like ours
There'd be no more tears
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years

Close the door to the Heartbreak Hotel
No more cryin' time here
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years
