Have you heard that rumour that's going around?

You got it made, way across town

It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?

Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again



When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong

I stood at your doorway, but you was gone

I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring

It's the same old blues, same old blues again



When you give me the business, you know I get a mind

'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time

It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?

It's the same old blues, same old blues again



I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out

I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out

Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end?

It's the same old blues, same old blues again







J. J. Cale - Troubadour (1976)
