The Blues Are Alive & Well

I know that most folks, they like a good joke
Laughin' and wearin' a smile
A place where the good times flow like a good wine
And love songs are always in style

But the blues are alive and well
I'm livin' proof that heartache still sells
As long as there's whiskey, a song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well

Bartender hit me, my glass is half empty
Has been since he's been gone
I heard his new wife goes great with his new life
Seems like the whole world's movin' on

But the blues are alive and well
I'm livin' proof that heartache still sells
As long as there's whiskey, a song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well

Turn up that jukebox and turn down the lights
And let me be lonely tonight

As long as there's whiskey, a song by Keith Whitley
And my baby loves somebody else
The blues are alive and well
