"Hues of Blue" drops on June 21st! For more information about my 14th studio album, see:
The last and eleventh song (track #11) on the album "Hues of Blue".
Equating the end of a relationship with a recovery from a bad addiction in which one is excited to rise from the depths of despair in the form of an 8-bar blues ballad with harp and slide.
Lyrics
"Rock Bottom Blues"
Lyrics (and music) written by Scott Cooley. Copyright © 2026 by Scott Richard Cooley and Scott Richard Cooley Music Publishing, ASCAP. All rights reserved.I was addicted to your loveLike a drug and in need of help from aboveYou were my femme fatale, ‘till you bid me adieuYou cured my rock bottom blues
I'm happy now that you're goneIt was high time that you moved onSo happy to be free from youYou cured my rock bottom blues
I’ve never felt so bad as I did thenNow I’m on way back to the top againSince you left my low point is in the pastBuried with a love that could never last
Now I'm high all the timeI feel like a bird in the skySo high that I can fly without youYou cured my rock bottom blues
I had nightmares whenever I slept with youRockin' and rollin' and sweatin' tooIt's true that you can't keep a good man downI'm better than ever since you left town
Now I'm sure everything's alrightI'm sleeping just fine through the nightSo sure that my lovesickness is throughYou cured my rock bottom blues
I was delirious and trembling tooBut it wasn’t the booze that had me confusedIt was you all along, now I’m over the withdrawalMy pride has come after the fall
The best medicine for my soulWas when you decided to leave me aloneI’ve finally kicked the habit of youYou cured my rock bottom blues
