Lyrics of No Room Left

No Room Left

Verse 1

Ya know I've been doing some thinking
And I think it's going to sink in
That life, yeah life keeps moving on
And yes I've been crying
And no I'm not lying
This isn't my first blues song
A little bit of pity can move a whole city
A liltle bit of hope will let people sing
But reality is tough, it can make life rough
You can dream but it doesn't mean a thing
RIFF

Verse 2

Oh—the memories I have of the friends I had
Still make me happy, still make me feel glad
The love we shared, the time we spent
Has left me wondering where have they all went
And yes I've been crying, no I'm not lying
This isn't my first blues song
The people I meet out on the street
Take one good look and feel sorry
But they shouldn't take a chance on just one glance
It doesn't tell the whole story
RIFF

Chorus 1

I've been called a loser, a full-time blues-er
Every time is a kick in the head
But I've got so much to give, I just want to live
I want to live before I am dead
And if you are a person whose life is hurting
Believe me I care, because I've been there
This isn't my first blues song
This isn't my first blues song
No, no, this isn’t my first blues song

Verse 3 (The Mood Shifts - Quieter, more focused)

I'm sitting in the kitchen, the radio is on
Watching the squirrels out my window as they dig up my lawn
I got the same familiar feeling every time you walk out that door
There's no room left, no there isn't
I don't have room for the blues anymore

Verse 4

I get up from the table to go to the porch out back
The sun is shining brightly, but the clouds are turning black
As I sit down with a coffee, it starts to rain
But you know it doesn't matter, to me it's all the same
My head is spinning as I walk across the floor
I don't have room for the blues anymore

Bridge

I think my mind is going under, I hope it's not too deep
At night I toss and turn but I just can't get to sleep
I put an ad in the paper for a spot to rent
But as it turns out, it wasn't money well spent
I tried to make more space, I tried to make more room
I tried to sweep the place... but I couldn't find a broom

Chorus 2 / Outro

So come on my brother, today is another
Another chance to discover all the right from the wrong
The blues keep coming like they always have before
But I don't have room for the blues anymore
No, I don't have room for the blues anymore

Believe me I care, when I say I've been there
This isn't my first blues song

There's no room left, no there isn't any room
No... this isn't any room for the blues anymore
I don’t have room, for the blues
