Runnin' Blue

Listen to me lady, so it's understood
This runnin' 'round life ain't doin' me no good
I get tired, yeah, so tired of payin' dues
But it seems there's no way around it
No end to runnin' blues

Well, I like to have my fun, I like to run around
And I ain't no stranger in nobody's town
I get tired, yeah, so tired of changin' views
And the road don't get no shorter
Runnin' 'round, runnin' blues

Well, this runnin' 'round life might seem nice and easy
But when you're blowin' with the wind
Sometimes it gets real breezy
It gets tired, I feel like I was born to lose
And there ain't no way around it
No end to runnin' blues

Got no holes in my pockets, no holes in my shoes
I don't know if I'm leavin' Detroit or headin' into Baton Rouge
I get tired, yeah, so tired of changin' views
And there ain't no way around it
No way around runnin' blues

Left my billfold at the airport, my suitcase on a train
I can't find my umbrella and it sure looks like rain
I get tired, so tired of playin' the blues
And the road don't get no shorter
When you got the runnin' blues

Well, the night life ain't no good life, but it's my life too
And once you're bound to the highway, ain't nothin' you can do
I get tired, so tired of payin' dues
There ain't no way around it
No way around runnin' blues
