Living The Blues (Album Version) - James Cotton

Written by：Gary Nicholson

Woke up this morning my pillow was wet

I guess I knew it was as good as it

Would get

Made me some breakfast of orange juice and gin and

I started thinking 'bout the sh*t that I was in

Best I could do was to keep going down

I caught me a ride to the hard side

Of town

Found the funkiest bar on the funkiest street

I never thought twice of what would happen to me

Step in the bar and I started drinking doubles

Pourin' down whiskey and pourin' out my troubles'

Went to the jukebox found the saddest song

I played it over and over till my money was

Gone

I'm living the blues I'm living the blues tonight

I'm living the blues I'm living the blues tonight

I'm in no mood to get myself together

I feel so bad I don't wanna feel better

I'm livin' the blues I'm living the blues tonight

Come here baby let me buy you a drink

Now don't you even start to think

That you and me maybe could have somethin' right

Believe me baby you don't wanna pay the price

You said that's falling in love you must be jokin'

I've just been burnt so bad I'm still smokin'

I'm living the blues I'm living the blues tonight

I'm living the blues I'm living the blues tonight

I'm in no mood to get myself together

I feel so bad I don't wanna feel better

I'm livin' the blues I'm living the blues tonight
