Steve Forbert - No Use Running from the Blues LYRICS

VERSE

Try your pills and powders

Take your drugs of every kind

Try your luck with liquor

Try your luck with beer and wine



CHORUS

You can try

Try it any way you choose

You can try it if you want to

But it's no use runnin' from the blues



VERSE

You tried to throw a party

And the invitations read

All your friends invited

But the blues showed up instead



(REPEAT CHORUS)

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)



VERSE

You flown down to Jamaica

And you walked on off the plane

Blues stepped up to greet ya

And he smiled and shook your hand



(REPEAT CHORUS)



VERSE

It ain't no superstition, child

The blues is really real

Get yourself together

Got to deal with how you feel



(REPEAT CHORUS)

(INSTRUMENTAL OUT)
