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

For whatever reason, I've always liked Storyville's Good Day for the Blues. Occasionally, if I'm lucky, I get to hear it - mostly in the mornings on WXRT, but occasionally in the afternoons or evenings. Today was one of those days, which means it's going to be a good day. Thanks Lin Brehmer, for getting this morning off to a good start.
