Sometimes you fly so high

You can't find a place to land

Got money in the bank

A drink in your hand

When the love gets low

Someone's gonna lose

Cause our love is driftin,

and it's a good day for the blues

When you shuffle your cards

You always have a winning hand

When luck is on the run

You never have to take a stand

When the chips get low

You know you're gonna have to choose

Cause our love is driftin,

and it's a good day for the blues

It's a good day, for Bobby Blue Bland

For the thrill isn't gone, Magic Stand

Whatever it takes, I do what I can do

To bridge this river that flows from me to you

Our love is driftin,

and it's a good day for the blues

Whatever it takes, I do what I can do

To bridge this river that flows from me to you

Our love is driftin,

and it's a good day for the blues
