Like the sun goin' down Like this sleepy town I've got nothing but these killer blues
Can't seem to shake this place Miss that old rat race Just stuck here with these killer blues
I was homeward bound Felt those wheels turnin' round When that bad luck came down on me
Like this moonless night Not a soul in sight I've got nothing but these killer blues
I just need one break A good sign I'd take Give me hope from these killer blues
All the pain you feel The hard truth so real When that bad luck comes down on you
And it's so unfair With no one to share When you've got nothing but these killer blues
And I count each day Since I've been away And I'll wait while I pay these dues
And I've learned to tell From that old wishin' well I've been schooled by these killer blues
Like the victim of my crime Cut down in his prime No mercy from the killer blues
All I'm left with is this time Got no reason got no rhyme I'm just stuck here with these killer blues I've got nothing but these killer blues Give me hope from these killer blues Just stuck here with these killer blues
