Runnin' Blue
Listen to me lady so it's understood
This runnin' round life ain't doin' me no good
I get tired, get so tired of payin' dues
But its seems there ain't no way around it
No end to runnin' blue
But I like to have my fun, like to run around
And I ain't no stranger in nobody's town
But I get tired, get so tired of changin' views
And the road don't get no shorter
Runnin' round and runnin' blue
But this runnin' round life might seem nice and easy
But when your blowin' with the wind
Sometime it get real breezy
A man gets tired, I feel like I was born to lose
And there ain't no way around it
No way round runnin' blue
Got no holes in my pocket, no holes in my soles
But I don't know if I'm leaving Detroit
Or a-comin' in to Baton Rouge
I get so tired, so tired of changin' views
And there ain't no way around it
No way around runnin' blue
Left my billfold at the airport, my suitcase on a train
Now I can't find my unbrella, and it sure looks like rain
I get tired, so tired of playin' to lose
And the road don't get no shorter
When you've got the runnin' blue
Now my life ain't no good life, but it's my life too
And once you're bound to this highway
Hey, ain't nothing you can do
Say I'm tired, whoa, gettin' tired of payin' dues
And there ain't no way around it
No way round the runnin' blue
This runnin' round life ain't doin' me no good
I get tired, get so tired of payin' dues
But its seems there ain't no way around it
No end to runnin' blue
But I like to have my fun, like to run around
And I ain't no stranger in nobody's town
But I get tired, get so tired of changin' views
And the road don't get no shorter
Runnin' round and runnin' blue
But this runnin' round life might seem nice and easy
But when your blowin' with the wind
Sometime it get real breezy
A man gets tired, I feel like I was born to lose
And there ain't no way around it
No way round runnin' blue
Got no holes in my pocket, no holes in my soles
But I don't know if I'm leaving Detroit
Or a-comin' in to Baton Rouge
I get so tired, so tired of changin' views
And there ain't no way around it
No way around runnin' blue
Left my billfold at the airport, my suitcase on a train
Now I can't find my unbrella, and it sure looks like rain
I get tired, so tired of playin' to lose
And the road don't get no shorter
When you've got the runnin' blue
Now my life ain't no good life, but it's my life too
And once you're bound to this highway
Hey, ain't nothing you can do
Say I'm tired, whoa, gettin' tired of payin' dues
And there ain't no way around it
No way round the runnin' blue
