Fumblin’ With the Blues

Friday left me fumblin’ with the blues

And it’s hard to win when you always lose

Because the nightspots spend your spirit

Beat your head against the wall

Two dead ends and you’ve still got to choose

You know the bartenders

They all know my name

And they catch me when I’m pulling up lame

And I’m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead

seeing off and on

Well they spend your love and then they’re gone

You can’t be lovin’ someone who is savage and cruel

Take your love and then they leave on out of town

Well, now fallin’ in love is such a breeze

But it’s standin’ up that’s so hard for me

I wanna squeeze you but I’m scared to death

I’d break your back

You know your perfume

Well it won’t let me be

You know the bartenders

They all know my name

And they catch me when I’m pulling up lame

And I’m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead

Come on baby

Let your love light shine

Gotta bury me inside of your fire

Because your eyes are ‘nough to blind me

You’re like a looking at the sun

You gotta whisper tell me I’m the one

Come on and whisper tell me I’m the one

Gotta whisper tell me I’m the one

Come on and whisper tell me I’m the one
