ZZ Top - Certified Blues Lyrics

I woke up this mornin'
With the certified blues
They sure had been slappin' me 'round
So down and out I couldn't tie my shoes
They're 'bout to drive me in the ground

If I could shake loose
I would feel so fine
There's one thing for sure
And it's on my mind
The certified blues
Are gonna take their time

I been livin' here way down south
The place that I wanna stay
Been workin' hard just to feed my mouth
Just can't keep the blues away

There's one thing for sure
And it's on my mind
The certified blues
Are gonna take their time
If I could shake loose
I would feel so fine

You say you're feelin' bad
And you don't know why
You're broke and your woman been lyin'
And just one thing before all five
The blues have just been certified

If I could shake loose
I would feel so fine
There's one thing for sure
And it's on my mind
The certified blues
Are gonna take their time
