So here's what I know
It started off slow
I was minding my business
Unaware of the mess
It snuck up behind me
And then tried to blind me
Was in a world of my own
When I was dethroned
I'm paying my dues
I'm singing the blues
But I just don't know how
I got mud on my shoes
There I was alone
When the lid got blown
Left in the unknown
I was all on my own
I'm paying my dues
I'm singing the blues
But I just don't know how
I got mud on my shoes
The story is true
My mind it just blew
My thoughts are now black
I've got to hit back
I'm paying my dues
I'm singing the blues
But I just don't know how
I got mud on my shoes
