Everything I Know About The Blues lyrics

I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river
The Army taught me how to shine my shoes
The years have shown me that nothin` lasts forever
But everything I know about the blues
I learned from you

I thought I`d seen my share of bad luck and hard times
But nothin` set me up for what you put me through
I learned a lesson that will hurt me for a lifetime
`Cause everything I know about the blues
I learned from you

I know that promises are things that just get broken
And you can`t trust a woman`s tears
And if love is what you place your hope in
All your hope may disappear

In certain circles I`ve aquired a reputation
But I give credit where credit is due
Yes it`s true I got a first rate education
`Cause everything I know about the blues
I learned from you
