Like a prisoner, the lady lives the blues It makes her money to feed her life It ain’t no pleasure cruise Every night is an endless cycle Every day is more abuse The lady lives the blues The lady loves the blues Escape, there’s no escape From choices that she’s made From New York to L. A She can never get away With a passing hot pursuit She’s already paid the dues Lady leaves the blues Lady leaves the blues On the Moon, the lady lives the blues Taking chances night after night The lady lives the blues She can’t stand, she can’t stand this life And there’s nothing left, nothing left to lose The lady lives the blues The lady lives the blues Escape, there’s no escape From choices that she’s made From New York to L. A She can never get away With a passing hot pursuit She’s already paid the dues Lady leaves the blues Lady leaves the blues
