Lyrics Old Man Markley

Old Man Markley

Lowdown Blues

I got the no good

Lowdown

Rotten

Blues

I got the no good lowdown dirty rotten blues

And I just can't shake them off

No matter what I do

I got the no good lowdown rotten blues

I'm sick of being strong

Nothing I can really do

Dusted mistrusted, my faith's been combusted

By the dropping of the other shoe

Trouble 'round every corner

Bullshit and dead ends

My vision's doubled over in bias

Morphine's your new best friend

I got the no good lowdown rotten blues

I got the no good lowdown dirty rotten blues

And I just can't shake them off

No matter what I do

I got the no good lowdown rotten blues

When every side I wake up on

Is the wrong side of the bed

It makes me fucking crazy

All the troubles in my head

I'd rather have another drink than try to sort out the mess

Rather hang it on tomorrow like the scars on your chest

Wish I could stop your heart as you sleep

I confess

And the phone keeps on ringing

Big surprise, it's more bad news

Knocking me back into the corner

Some days you're just born to lose

If I could stack up all of my troubles

I could build myself a home

And live in it and feel like shit

And die there all alone

And they keep on hanging around (Keep on hanging around) (5x)

Yeah, they keep on hanging around

I got the no good

Lowdown

Rotten

Blues
