This old bar stool's feeling higher
As I started sinking lower
The minute that she waltzed
Right through that door
Not long ago I held her
Like a fool I went and left her
Now she's with somebody new
Out on that floor
[CHORUS]
And she's got the rhythm
And I got the blues
And she's showing me
How much I had to lose
With her every little move
She's telling me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm
And I got the blues
(hee haw)
Well, that music's getting louder
As my heart keeps beating faster
As she spells out regret
In perfect time
Well, I thought I wanted freedom
But that ball and chain I need 'em
Cause when you choose
Sometimes you lose the prize
[repeat CHORUS]
Yeah, with her every little move
She's telling me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm
And I got the blues
