Why The Man In Black Sings The Blues

Billy Joe Shaver

Album: Freedom's Child Intro: There's a drug dealer selling to your children everyday He's rotten evil, but he ain't nobody's fool He's dealin' death and livin' high Off your hard-earned pay, That's why The Man In Black sings the blues That's why The Man In Black sings the blues Why should children, why should women be abused There's so precious few among us walking in the Savior's shoes That's why The Man In Black sings the blues We've got to stamp out hunger all around the planet Earth We've got to be our weapons in the clouds We've got to ban these bombs I say, We've got to save our lives We've got to do it all startin' now That's why The Man In Black sings the blues Why the farmer and his crops we're saving too So every workin' stiff across this land won't have to lose That's why The Man In Black sings the blues The first Americans were the riskiest human beings They saved us all that first Thanksgiving Day Like the older folks behind, walkin' in the welfare line Their trail of tears grows longer by the way That's why The Man In Black sings the blues Why should any human being be abused There's so precious few among us walking in the Savior's shoes That's why The Man In Black sings the blues That's why The Man In Black sings the blues Outro:
