Blues Brothers, The - Shot Gun Blues Lyrics

Every night I go to sleep the blues fall down like rain
Every night I go to sleep the blues fall down like rain
Takin' pills and cheap whiskey just to try to ease the pain

It's hard to gamble when you lose every bet
Hard to save money when you're twenty years in debt
The blues is fallin', fallin' down me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people, and disconnect my brain

(Guitar solo)

I made some mistakes
Had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work and my whole body aches
The blues is fallin', fallin' down me like rain
My life is like water, just swirlin' down the drain

Well, tried standin' up; keep on fallin' down
Tried standin' up; keep on fallin' down
Everywhere I go the blues is all around
