I'M A WALKIN' ADVERTISEMENT (FOR THE BLUES)
(Cy Coben)

I've got eyes that don't stop crying lips that smile no more
Got a heart that's full of heartaches and feet that walk the floor
I've got arms that long to hold you any kiss I'll never use
I'm a walkin' advertisement for the blues
I'm a walkin' advertisement for the blues

We quarrel and we parted neither of us could give in
Since we've been apart well it's so blue where I live in
If I thought you still wanted me I'd fresh up to your side
Cause when you're all alone and lonely what cuts all your pride

I've got eyes that don't stop crying lips that smile no more
Got a heart that's full of heartaches and feet that walk the floor
I've got arms that long to hold you any kiss I'll never use
I'm a walkin' advertisement for the blues
I'm a walkin' advertisement for the blues

[ banjo - steel ]

I look into the mirror and a stranger there I see
Black rings around the eyes of someone there who looks like me
I never knew what lonesome was no not until the day
You closed the door of love on me and slowly walked away

I've got eyes that don't stop crying lips that smile no more
Got a heart that's full of heartaches and feet that walk the floor
I've got arms that long to hold you any kiss I'll never use
I'm a walkin' advertisement for the blues
I'm a walkin' advertisement for the blues
