Blues Run The Game

Lyrics
Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain Wherever I have gone Wherever I've been and gone Wherever I have gone the blues are all the same Send out for whiskey, baby, send out for gin Me and room service, honey Me and room service, babe Me and room service, well, we're living a life of sin When I'm not drinkin', baby, you are on my mind When I'm not sleepin', honey When I ain't sleepin', mama When I'm not sleepin', you know you'll find me crying Try another city, baby, another town Wherever I have gone Wherever I've been and gone Wherever I have gone the blues come followin' down Livin' is a gamble baby, lovin's much the same Wherever I have played Whenever I've thrown them dice Wherever I have played the blues have run the game Maybe tomorrow honey Some place down the line, I'll wake up older So much older, mama I'll wake up older and I'll just stop all my trying Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain Wherever I have gone Wherever I've been and gone Wherever I have gone the blues are all the same
