Runnin' Blue - Boz Scaggs
Written by：Boz Scaggs
Listen to me lady
So it's understood
This runnin' round life
Ain't doing me no good
I get tired
So tired of paying dues
There ain't no way around it
No end to runnin' blue
But I like to have my fun
Like to run around
I ain't no stranger
In nobody's town
But I get tired
So tired of changing views
And the road don't get no shorter
Runnin' round and runnin' blue
Well this runnin' round life
Might seem nice and easy
When you're blowing with the wind
Sometimes it gets real breezy
A man gets tired
Feel like I was born to lose
And there ain't no way around it
No way round runnin' blue
Got no holes in my pockets
No holes in my shoes
But I don't know I'm leaving detroit
Or coming into baton rouge
I get tired
So tired of changing views
And the road don't get no shorter
Runnin' round and runnin' blue
Left my billfold at the airport
Suitcase on a train
Now I can't find my umbrella
And it sure looks like rain
I get tired
So tired of playing to lose
No way around it
No way round runnin' blue
Well the night life ain't a good life
But it's my life too
Once you're bound to this highway
Ain't nothing you can do
Except get tired
Get tired of paying dues
And there ain't no way around it
No way round runnin' blue
