Shot Gun 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

Matt 'Guitar' Murphy!





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 tried standin' up

I keep on falling down

Tried standing up

Keep on fallin' down

Everywhere I go

The blues is all around
