Song: Steve Earle - my old friend the blues
Album: guitar town
Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you
My old friend the blues
Another lonely night, a nameless town
If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around
'Cause I know I can always count on you
My old friend the blues
Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But you're the only sure thing that I've found
No matter what I do I'll never lose
My old friend the blues
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
My old friend the blues

The most loyal friend you'll ever have. The Blues.
-
The only sure thing that I've found - I will never lose - My Old Friend the Blues - how many of us knows how that feels Steve? More than those who will admit it , I'd say!
-
Joe Nichols did an amazing cover of this song. Sad to say, I think he put a little more feeling into the song.
-
I love this song....Thank You!
-
What I like about Steve is that he honest and will tell you what he believes - whatever the conceniences. He is the real deal - think whatever you want about him.
-
With his Goodbye with Emmylou up there as one of the greatest country blues numbers
-
some of the best pure country gold ever. PERIOD!
-
I like them both Proclaimers and Steve but for me; no doubt Steve is the best :)

I think this version holds up better than the one from the Proclaimers, although I like them both.
