No Use Running from the Blues

VERSE



Try your pills and powders



Take your drugs of every kind



Try your luck with liquor



Try your luck with beer and wine







CHORUS



You can try



Try it any way you choose



You can try it if you want to



But it's no use runnin' from the blues







VERSE



You tried to throw a party



And the invitations read



All your friends invited



But the blues showed up instead







(REPEAT CHORUS)



(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)







VERSE



You flown down to Jamaica



And you walked on off the plane



Blues stepped up to greet ya



And he smiled and shook your hand







(REPEAT CHORUS)







VERSE



It ain't no superstition, child



The blues is really real



Get yourself together



Got to deal with how you feel







(REPEAT CHORUS)



(INSTRUMENTAL OUT)
