Can't get Away From the Blues Lyrics

Heartache and misery I've had my share

Every road I travel down I find bad luck there

It seems to follow me around like a hangman swinging a noose

And not a day goes by I don't wonder why

I keep running but I can't get away from the blues

I played the ponies my horse came in first

But then I lost my ticket wait it gets worse

I came home to find my woman had left on a Caribbean cruise

With my best friend proving once again

No matter what I do I just can't get away from the blues

It seems I can't escape the life I live

When bad luck's a bounty hunter I'm the fugitive

Living under a cloud can't get away from the storm

Misfortune's been my shadow ever since the day I was born

Some people dig country or rock and roll

But there's another kind of groove that speaks to my soul

It fit's me just perfect like a favorite old pair of shoes

And every cry and moan I know as my own

That's why I'm singing this song 'cause I can't get away from the blues
