(BPM 84)
I feel uptight
I don’t know what’s troubling me
I'm so low down
I can’t be set free
Like I was born to lose
I got twenty-four seven blues
Got ‘em twenty-four seven blues
I lost my job
I ain’t got no money saved
They took my house, oh yes they did
And my woman left that day
I got nothing left to lose
I got twenty-four seven blues
Got ‘em twenty-four seven blues
My best friend said you better get some rest
Stop acting like a fool
Mamma said time to grow up son
And remember the golden rule
Poppa said you never spend a penny
That you didn’t earn
Friday night I crashed his car
Just so I could watch it burn
Like I was born to lose
I got twenty four-seven blues
Got ‘em twenty-four seven blues
Doctor said you best slow down or you’re
Gonna wind up dead
People gonna give me their own advice
I don’t give a damn what they said
I got nothing left to lose
I got twenty four-seven blues
Twenty four-seven blues
Got ‘em twenty-four seven blues
Got ‘em twenty-four seven blues
