Oh yeah aaallriiiight now. . I've been up half the night. Tryin' to find out. Where this windin' road. Is goin' to lead me to. My little lady comin' home so late.
Oh it happens every now and then. Along the banks of the Potamus. When me and the boys gather some toys. And take care of a little bit. . Sometimes it's crazy, sometimes it's hazy.
Poor old man came from Mississippi. Nothin' on his mind but a cheap fifth of whiskey. Playin' his guitar, got into the city. Workin' on the streets just to make a living.
Look outside your window, see where ya been. Ya see morning shadows coming on again. Make your sacrifice if you play to win. Someone will pay the price.
One more day gone and pass you by. Got to find a better way. One more night you'll have another try. To take these blues away. . People tell me what I need, no, they dont see.
