Lyrics

Well I heard a lot of stories. You'd think I would've learned. That sweet old song of glory sometimes gets a little blurred. But one thing I remember is what it feels like getting burned.
That's why I'm standing up, why I'm standing up for the Blues. That's why I'm standing up, why I'm standing up for the Blues. When all that trouble is on you man, you've got nothing left to lose.
Hear the Blues a-talking, think of times to come. We came out of hell a-walking, right through all the bombs and all the guns. When all the shooting is over, then maybe we can have some fun.
That's why I'm standing up, why I'm standing up for the Blues. That's why I'm standing up, why I'm standing up for the Blues. When all the shooting is over man, you got nothing left to lose.
Wake up all the people sleeping their lives away. Cuz the truth could be the one thing y'all take down to the grave. The Blues might be your lifeboat. Come on, jump in, we're getting saved.
And that is why I'm standing up, why I'm standing up for the Blues. That's why I'm standing up. why I'm standing up for the Blues. When all that trouble is on you man, you got nothing left to lose.
Up for the Blues, standing up for the Blues.
(repeat)
