George Strait

You Can't Buy Your Way Out Of The Blues

(Larry Cordle - Mike Anthony)

I'd been workin' at forgettin'
Since you said goodbye,
Lookin' for some good times,
The best money can buy.
But it's a bad investment,
There's no long term dividends.
You can't buy happiness
Or heal a heart that just won't mend.

Chorus:
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way.
I should've paid you more attention,
But now it's too late.
You can buy a night out on the town,
You can buy a loveboat cruise,
But you can't buy your way out of the blues.

No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.
You can spend your fool self silly,
But your money's all you lose.
Love luck just can't be
Bought and paid for and that's the truth.
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.

--- Instrumental ---

My pocketbook is empty,
But I'm still feelin' bad.
I might as well admit it
You're the last good time I had.
It's been a high-priced lesson,
I can't justify the cost.
I tried buying off your memory,
But it's all in vain because:

Chorus:
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way.
I should've paid you more attention,
But now it's too late.
You can buy a night out on the town,
You can buy a loveboat cruise,
But you can't buy your way out of the blues.

No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.
You can spend your fool self silly,
But your money's all you lose.
Love luck just can't be
Bought and paid for and that's the truth.
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.

Love luck just can't be bought
And paid for and that's the truth.
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues...

Mirror lyrics:

No, you can't buy your way out of the blues...
And paid for and that's the truth.
Love luck just can't be bought

No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.
Bought and paid for and that's the truth.
Love luck just can't be
But your money's all you lose.
You can spend your fool self silly,
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.

But you can't buy your way out of the blues.
You can buy a loveboat cruise,
You can buy a night out on the town,
But now it's too late.
I should've paid you more attention,
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way.
Chorus:

But it's all in vain because:
I tried buying off your memory,
I can't justify the cost.
It's been a high-priced lesson,
You're the last good time I had.
I might as well admit it
But I'm still feelin' bad.
My pocketbook is empty,

No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.
Bought and paid for and that's the truth.
Love luck just can't be
But your money's all you lose.
You can spend your fool self silly,
No, you can't buy your way out of the blues.

But you can't buy your way out of the blues.
You can buy a loveboat cruise,
You can buy a night out on the town,
But now it's too late.

I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way.

Since you said goodbye,
I'd been workin' at forgettin'
