Fumblin' With The Blues |
Friday left me fumblin' with the blues |
And it’s hard to win when you always lose |
Because the nightspots spend your spirit |
Beat your head against the wall |
Two dead ends and you’ve still got to choose |
You know the bartenders |
They all know my name |
And they catch me when I’m pulling up lame |
And I’m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head |
When I should be living clean instead |
You know the ladies I’ve been seeing off and on Well they spend your love and then they’re gone |
You can’t be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel |
Take your love and then they leave on out of town |
No they do Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze |
But its standin' up that’s so hard for me I wanna squeeze you but I’m scared to death I’d break your back |
You know your perfume |
Well it won’t let me be You know the bartenders all know my name |
And they catch me when I’m pulling up lame |
And I’m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head |
When I should be living clean instead |
Come on baby |
Let your love light shine |
Gotta bury me inside of your fire |
Because your eyes are 'nough to blind me You’re like a-looking at the sun |
