My Baby Sings the Blues - Vern Gosdin

She could dance and she could sing

She left Texas with her dreams

She swore that she could make it on her own

She was young and she was fine

She had looks and she had time

And the feelings of a woman fully grown

She hit Nashville like a storm

As soft as she was warm

Knowin' she’d be discovered any day

But the things she did the best

Was her overnight success

And the singing just got lost along the way

Baby sings the blues down on Broadway

Singing from bottom of her heart

Baby sings the blues down on Broadway

Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark

From a blessing to a curse

Things just went from bad to worse

Life at night worked out the way she planned

And although her dreams were gone

She just couldn’t go back home

To a town she knew that would not understand
