Analysis of The Blues



Again love is a lie.
Back to miserableness.
And it all ends in a bad dream.
Not much comes out of my hometown.
Not much to cheer about.
I guess I had it right in the beginning.
Nothing here.
Cheer for Detroit sports teams.
Here’s a high note:
Life is good.
City of New Orleans a great song.
Life remains interesting.
