So this gig made me bitter
Like a drunken house sitter
And I can't be a quitter
Thom says that it's "fitter"
Real girls they are knitters
But the blues
They got me twisted
Can I ever win?
In this fight
Life itself is unsung
Everyone jumps the gun
I just wanna have fun
Ample time to be shunned
But the blues
They got me twisted
Can I ever win?
In this fight
Love's a dog out the gate
Sometimes makes me irate
Cigarettes to donate
And I'm goin' on a date
But the blues
They got me twisted
Can I ever win?
In this fight
And at the end of the day
When my conscience unloads
By the side of the road
Like that turtle story told
Rigid, ready to corrode
So you're wrong and I'm right
But I'll stay up all night
'Cause the blues
They got me twisted
Can I ever win?
In this fight
Yeah the blues
They got me twisted
Can I ever win?
In this fight
