lyrics

Baby stayed out all night long
But it's not for me to say what's right or wrong
I can't win, nothing too much to lose
But I've been up all night, paying my dues to the blues

Yonder comes my baby, playing by the book
These days she wears that loved-on look
She's OK, tells me she's feeling fine
But she's with someone else now, never really was mine

If my brain is loaded and my eyes are red
It still takes more than whisky to smash my head
I can't win, wish I had some more to lose
Still, I've been up all night, just paying my dues to the blues

She's a foxy lady with an easy smile
I have to take it slowly every once in a while
I can't win, wish I had some more to lose
But it feels just right still paying my dues to the blues

She knows I can't complain out here on Easy Street
But I keep on looking and there's no one to meet
I can't win…
