Blues Overtook Me

The blues overtook me When I was a little child You know blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild When I was a kid, early on my own I took the highway to be my home The blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild I ain't complainin' Dark and cloudy, I believe it's gonna rain Makes me wonna hear my baby call my name The blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild When you get in trouble, everybody's down on you The blues'll overtake you, and pull you on through You know blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild Just tryin' to have some fun Hand me down my suitcase, pack up my trunk I ain't be drinkin', blues made me drunk The blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild You might run and try to escape The blues will overtake you one rainy day Blues overtook me When I was a little child You know fast women and whiskey Made this poor boy wild That's alright Yeah, the blues overtook me I ain't lyin'
