Livin' in the blues
Catchin' up on all my dues
All the games that I had played
Man I finally got them paid
Makin' out is such a drag
Livin' round just ain't my bag
But stayin alone is the thing to do
And I, when you're livin' in the blues yeah

Cigarettes by the case
Blended gently with the taste
Once helped to pass my time
Made my pillow feel so kind
But as my end draws slowly closer
I feel my life was already over
It's so easy to lose when you're
Livin' in the blues yeah

Livin' in the blues
Catchin' up on all my dues
All the games that I had played
Man I finally got them paid
But as my end draws slowly closer
I feel my life was already over
It's so easy to lose when you're
Livin' in the blues yeah
