Malvina Reynolds - Blues Street Lyrics

Once you get to Blues Street
You can't get away,
Even when it's sunny
It's a rainy day
On Blues Street,
Baby, that's no place to go,
I've been to Blues Street,
And I know it's so.

Once you been there, Baby,
You always go again,
You find yourself walking,
And you don't know how you came,
To Blues Street,
Baby, that's no place to go,
I've been to Blues Street,
And I know it's so.

There's a jailhouse there
That's got seventeen floors,
Need no bars on the windows
And no locks on the doors
In Blues Street,
Baby, that's no place to go,
I've been to Blues Street,
And I know it's so.

The people seem so happy,
And they laugh and smile,
But laughing sounds like crying
If you listen for a while,
In Blues Street,
Baby, that's no place to go,
I've been to Blues Street,
And I know it's so.

Life seems mighty easy
On this easy road,
But everybody's carrying
A heavy load,
In Blues Street,
Baby, that's no place to go,
I've been to Blues Street,
And I know it's so.

Stay where life is simple
And the folks are good and kind,
Cause once you get to straying
You can lose your mind,
In Blues Street,
Baby, that's no place to go,
I've been to Blues Street,
And I know it's so.
