Lyrics
Well I've got somethin'--- mean to tell you I've got somethin'
I wanna lay on you right now
I mean to tell you that I've got somethin' I mean to tell you
I've got somethin'
I wanna lay on you right now
There's a lotta people saying' they've got the blues
An' how they're tired of payin' all of them dues
Hey baby--- got somethin' I wanna lay on you lay on you right now
Well you can take it how you want to
It's up to you to open up that door
But Jesus Christ gave His life so that you could live
Ahh don't you know it was you He died on that cross for
Well, I've given my life to Jesus
And I want to tell you that I ain' t got those blues no more
Well you can try an' try an' try
To find just a little bit of happiness to keep you goin'
But I just gotta tell you somethin' that you ain't gonna find nothin'
You ain't gonna find nothin' in this world
Worth lookin' for
But you can give your life to Jesus
He' ll take away all the pain and all the emptiness inside
And you won't have to have those blues no more

Meaning & Inspiration
No More Blues presents Christian conversion as an answer to spiritual emptiness rather than a promise of an effortless life. The opening acknowledges weariness, disappointment, and the search for happiness in the world. Its central turn comes with the cross: Jesus gives His life so that others may live. The speaker then describes giving his own life to Christ and finding that pain and emptiness no longer have the final word.
The emphasis on Christ dying for sinners aligns with Romans 5:8, which locates divine love in the death of Jesus. The testimony of a changed life also reflects 2 Corinthians 5:17 and its description of new creation in Christ. Although the language is conversational and shaped by the blues tradition, the message remains direct. Lasting hope is not found through repeated attempts to secure happiness, but through trust in Jesus and the life made possible by His sacrifice. The title becomes a concise confession of release, renewal, and belonging to Christ.
