Don't Play The Fool

Don’t play the fool
The blues got to be true (2x)
If you don’t play with your heart
You aren’t playing right
And don’t you think the blues got rules
It only got to be true

I heard you singin’
About you riding on a freight train
But you were lying
You only travel by plane
If you don’t sing what is true
You’re just playing the fool
And don’t you think the blues got a rule
It only got to be true

No matter where you were born
And no matter who you are
The blues is all about what you feel
The blues will reborn
When you sing with the heart
That’s why you have to play it for real
