Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Lately I Been Leanin' Toward The Blues

Lately I've been leanin' toward to blues

The lazy loafin' good for nothin' no count knock around

Ain't been worth a honky dime since country come to town

I'll tell you boys this waitin' up for somethin's got me down to nothin' left to lose

And lately I've been leanin' toward to blues

I said lately I've been leanin' toward to blues

I've been leanin' lately toward the blues

I've done held on till I can't turn loose

Everything is everything and everybody knows

We can't get nowhere by steppin' on each other's toes

And when it comes to Cotton Corners baby anyway you get here is just fine

Cause lately we've been doin' double time

And lately I've been leanin' toward to blues

I've been leanin' lately toward the blues

Done more soul in my old holy shoes

I said lately I've been leanin' toward to blues
