"Can't Shake These Blues" lyrics
No matter how I try, but I just can't shake these blues
No matter how I try, but I just can't shake these blues
They're like a big black crow, they're flyin' after me
They're tryin' to shake me outta my tree
They shake me through and through
But it just don't shake these blues
Seems so hard, nothin' left to fight it
Seems so easy to just let go
Seems so dumb to get so excited
This might be the last "I told you so"
It's like a cautious crap-shoot, you can't win no game
The dice ain't nice, they never remember my name
You can shake 'em up an' shoot 'em, you just might win
Take your money home an' never shoot again
I shake till I lose, but I just can't shake these blues
I can't shake these blues
It's kind of a clue when you finally find me alone
Just a dark lump of shadows and nobody takin' me home
You know, the dark is a demon, it swallows me whole
Fear is the shadow that shades my soul
Till I shake in my shoes, but I just can't shake these blues
I can't shake these blues
I don't believe I'm down in this hole again
I don't believe I lost my way
I believe I'll sit here tremblin'
Till I shiver and shake my life away
'Cause I been sick in my time, this ain't nothin' new
It's just worse than the first, an' it lasts just as long as I do
You know, I went to my doctor, such a waste of time
He gave me a bottle fulla dope of some kind
That said "Shake 'fore you use"
But it just don't shake my blues
It don't shake these blues
Seems so hard, nothin' left to fight it
Seems so easy to just let go
Seems so dumb to get so excited
This might be the last "I told you so"
No matter how I try, well, I just can't shake these blues
No matter how I try, well, I just can't shake these blues
Can't shake these blues, can't shake 'em, can't shake 'em
I can't shake 'em, I can't shake these blues
No matter how I try, but I just can't shake these blues
They're like a big black crow, they're flyin' after me
They're tryin' to shake me outta my tree
They shake me through and through
But it just don't shake these blues
Seems so hard, nothin' left to fight it
Seems so easy to just let go
Seems so dumb to get so excited
This might be the last "I told you so"
It's like a cautious crap-shoot, you can't win no game
The dice ain't nice, they never remember my name
You can shake 'em up an' shoot 'em, you just might win
Take your money home an' never shoot again
I shake till I lose, but I just can't shake these blues
I can't shake these blues
It's kind of a clue when you finally find me alone
Just a dark lump of shadows and nobody takin' me home
You know, the dark is a demon, it swallows me whole
Fear is the shadow that shades my soul
Till I shake in my shoes, but I just can't shake these blues
I can't shake these blues
I don't believe I'm down in this hole again
I don't believe I lost my way
I believe I'll sit here tremblin'
Till I shiver and shake my life away
'Cause I been sick in my time, this ain't nothin' new
It's just worse than the first, an' it lasts just as long as I do
You know, I went to my doctor, such a waste of time
He gave me a bottle fulla dope of some kind
That said "Shake 'fore you use"
But it just don't shake my blues
It don't shake these blues
Seems so hard, nothin' left to fight it
Seems so easy to just let go
Seems so dumb to get so excited
This might be the last "I told you so"
No matter how I try, well, I just can't shake these blues
No matter how I try, well, I just can't shake these blues
Can't shake these blues, can't shake 'em, can't shake 'em
I can't shake 'em, I can't shake these blues
