Shot Gun Blues

Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain

Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain

Takin' pills and cheap whiskey, just to try to ease the pain

It's hard to gamble when you lose every bet

Hard to save money when you're twenty years in debt

The blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain

I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people, and disconnect my brain

I made some mistakes, had some bad breaks

Now my mind don't work and my whole body aches

Blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain

My life is like water, just swirlin' down the drain

Tried standin' up, keep on fallin' down

Tried standin' up, keep on fallin' down

Everywhere I go the blues is all around
