Home Of The Blues
Heartache's Haven: Unveiling the Depths of Despair in Johnny Cash's 'Home Of The Blues'
Lyrics
Just around the corner there's heartache
Proximity to heartache is imminent.
Down the street that losers use
Losers navigate this street.
If you can wade in through the teardrops
One can enter amidst sorrowful emotions.
You'll find me at the home of the blues
The singer is found at a place associated with the blues.
I walk and cry while my heartbeat
The singer walks and cries, synchronized with a heavy heart.
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The rhythmic sound of dragging shoes accompanies the heartbeat.
The sun never shines through this window of mine
The singer's environment is perpetually dark and gloomy.
It's dark at the home of the blues
The home of the blues is a dim place.
Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest memories
Sweet memories fill the place.
Memories so sweet that I cry
These memories are so sweet that they induce tears.
Dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad
Past dreams bring intense sadness.
I just want to give up and lay down and die
The singer contemplates giving up and succumbing to despair.
So if you've just lost your sweetheart
For those who have recently lost a loved one,
And it seems there's no good way to choose
Choosing a positive path seems challenging.
Come along with me, misery loves company
The singer invites them to join, as misery finds comfort in companionship.
You're welcome at the home of the blues
Visitors are welcome at the home of the blues.
Just around the corner there's heartache
Heartache is just around the corner once again.
Down the street that losers use
The street is frequented by those who have experienced loss.
If you can wade in through the teardrops
Access to the singer's location involves navigating through tears.
You'll find me at the home of the blues
The singer can be found at the home of the blues.
Yeah, you're gonna find me at the home of the blues
Reiteration of being located at the home of the blues.
