Runnin' Blue Songtext
von Boz Scaggs

Listen to me, lady, so it′s understood
This runnin' ′round life ain't doin' me no good
I get tired, get so tired of payin′ dues
But it seems there ain′t no way around it

No end to runnin' blue

Well, I like to have my fun, like to run around
And I ain′t no stranger in nobody's town
But I get tired, get so tired of changin′ views
And the road don't get no shorter

Runnin′ 'round, runnin' blue

Well, this runnin′ ′round life might seem nice and easy
But when you're blowin′ with the wind
Sometime it get real breezy
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 if I'm leavin' Detroit
Or comin′ into Baton Rouge
I get tired, so tired of changin′ views
And there ain't no way around it

No way ′round runnin' blue

Left my billfold at the airport
My suitcase on the train
Now I can′t find my umbrella
And it sure looks like rain
I get tired, so tired of playin' to lose
And the road don′t get no shorter

When you got the runnin' blue

Well, the night life ain't no good life
But it′s my life too
Once you′re bound to this highway
Ain't nothin′ you can do
'Cept get tired, oh, get tired of payin′ dues
And there ain't no way around it
No way ′round runnin' blue
