Verse:
Life can get oh so hard;
You can be oh so blue.
Things can get so darn complicated;
You just don't know what to do.
Well, listen to me my friend,
You got nothing to lose.
You might as well listen;
Listen to the good news blues.

Chorus:
You might as well listen;
You might as well listen.
This could be a brand new day;
It's yours to choose.
So come over here;
Lend me your ear.
You got nothing to lose.
You might as well listen;
Listen to the good news blues.

Verse:
Have you been feelin' down;
Strugglin' 'neath a heavy load.
Have you kind of lost your sense of direction;
Travelin' down a lonely road.
Well, listen to what I say;
This is a song you can use.
You might as well listen;
Listen to the good news blues.

Chorus:
You might as well listen;
You might as well listen.
This could be a brand new day;
It's yours to choose.
So come over here;
Lend me your ear.
You got nothing to lose.
You might as well listen;
Listen to the good news blues.

Bridge:
God loves you more than anything;
And that's the gospel truth.
That oughta make your little heart beat;
That oughta get you on your feet.

(and just) Come over here
And lend me your ear;
You got nothin' to lose.
You might as well listen;
Listen to the good news blues.
