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
