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 me like rain

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



(Guitar solo)



I made some mistakes

Had some bad breaks

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

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

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



Well, tried standin' up; keep on fallin' down

Tried standin' up; keep on fallin' down

Everywhere I go the blues is all around
