My heart's already broken

You've taken care of that

You left me with the hyundai

And took the cadillac

Got a letter from your lawyer

Telling me more bad news

But why should i worry

I've got nothing left to lose but the blues

All the money's gone

From the checking account

The landlord's at the door

Says he's throwing me out

The bills keep pilin' up

They're long overdue

But i'm not upset 'cause

I've got nothing left to lose but the blues

We all have our troubles

We all have our cross to bear

But lately i feel like i've had more than my share

Repeat

I'll scrape up a few bucks

Go out on the town

Got a couple dozen

Sorrows to drown

If i start actin' foolish

Got the perfect excuse

It's easy to do when

You've got nothing left to lose but the blues

It's easy to do when

You've got nothing left to lose but the blues

And i've got nothing left to lose - but the blues
