Shotgun Blues

Every night I go to sleep,
The blues fall down like rain.
Every night I go to sleep,
The blues fall down like rain.
Taking pills, cheap whiskey,
Just to try to ease the pain.

Well, it's hard to gamble
When you lose every bet.
Hard to save money
When you're twenty years in debt.

The blues is falling,
Falling down on me like rain.
I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people,
And disconnect my brain…

I made some mistakes,
Had some bad breaks.
Now my mind don't work,
And my whole body aches.

The blues is falling,
Falling down on me like rain.
My life is like water:
Just swirling down the drain.

Well, I try to standing up,
I keep on falling down…
Try to standing up,
Keep on falling down…
Everywhere I go
The bluuuuues… is all around!

(D. & R. Walsh * ¡Los Blues Brothers!)
