Runnin’ Blues Walter Trout

Everybody knows the way you lie
Nowhere to go, you've got no way to hide
Nothing to do but run away
Ain't nobody who believes a word you say

Better put on your running shoes
All you got left is the running blues

You were doing ok, but you blew your chance
Now nobody want to watch you do your dance
So turn around, walk out that door
Nobody wants to see you here no more

Now you're gonna have to pay your dues
All you got left is the running blues

It's easy to see besides the truth
Your house, your cars, they fell in on you
Take a good look where they got you now
The evil you do comes back at you somehow

You ain't nothing but yesterday's news
All you got left is the running blues
Your running blues

Tell me what is the truth to you
Is it what you say, or is it the things you do?
You know the way telling wrong from right
Look at yourself, tell me how do you sleep at night
