Runnin' Blue

Runnin' Blue - Boz Scaggs

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
