Padlock On The Blues Lyrics

I got a padlock on the blues And I got the key to open up my mind Unlock it what's inside me? I never know just what I'll find When it comes to my emotions I got the blues of every kind People ask, "Why don't you sing the blues With a voice full of gravel and growl?" I say, "I got my own style And when I sing you're gonna hear that howl I got to go with what I got And what I got won't let me down" Sometimes I stop to wonder What some critics out there would have me do But beware the green gods of envy Pay no attention - see it through That's why I'm depending on you, people Yes, I mean you and you and you and you
