I Paid My Dues

I woke up early every mornin'
Bout the, bout the break of dawn
I woke up early every mornin'
Bout the, bout the break of dawn
Well, y'all I got up early this morning
Lawd I'm gonna see the morning sun

Let me tell ya people
I sing the blues because I paid my dues
Woah let me tell ya people
I sing the blues because I paid my dues
Well, I look for my baby yall, y'know,
And you know the girls she had her ways

People let me tell ya what I do
I play the blues cuz I paid my dues
Let me tell ya what I do
I play the blues cuz I paid my dues
I get up early every mornin'
Just about the break of day

Oh I paid my dues
People that's why I sing the blues
Woah, I paid my dues
That's why I sing the blues
I get up early every mornin'
Just about to the break of day

Let me tell ya what I do

Let me tell ya what I do now people

Well I'm lovin' you now baby
Sure love you, I'd hate to lose
