I come from a good family, my ma and pa
And my little sister, well I love them all
So tell me mister, why should I be blue?
I met a good woman, so I made her my wife
So I could be happy for the rest of my life
So tell me mister, why should I be blue?
This world ain't perfect, but it ain't so bad
Try not to dwell upon the things that make you mad
It's easy to remember but it's better to forgive
It's hard to exist but it's much better just to live
Got a nice house, the neighbourhood ain't rough
Got lots of room for all my stuff
So tell me mister, why should I be blue?
Got a baby girl, she's our pride and joy
Filled our rooms up with diapers and toys
So tell me mister, why should I be blue?
There ain't no point in going out of your way
For reasons to be angry each and every day
This life may throw you a curve or two
But you gotta keep on living, what else you gonna do?
I've been down the road a time or two
If I had it all again there's nothing that I wouldn't do
So tell me mister, why should I be blue?
Why should I be blue?
Why should I be blue?
