One Step

I ain't high on cocaine
I don't need the pain
It's bad for your brain
And that's trueI ain't droppin' no names
I ain't playin' no games
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the bluesFrom Memphis to Reno
From New York to Tokyo
I'll try to come
Through for youI won't do you in
I ain't no fair weather friend
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the bluesI don't rob, I don't steal
I ain't beggin' no meal
I ain't driven to drink
I'm no foolI don't run with the crowd
I don't talk big and loud
I'm just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the bluesWell, I've been under a spell
And I ain't been feelin' well
I've been in a shell
And that's trueI'm dealin' with a curse
And it couldn't be worse
I've been one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the bluesOne step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
