JJ Cale & Eric Clapton Lyrics

"Sporting Life Blues"

I'm gettin' tired of hangin' around
Think I will marry and settle down
'Cause this old night life
This old sportin' life is killing me

I got a letter from my home
Most of my friends are dead and gone
I began to worry
I began to wonder about days to come

My mother used to talk to me
I was young and foolish and could not see
Now I got no mother
My sisters and my brothers don't care for me

I swear I'm gonna change my ways
I'm gettin' older every day
When I was young and foolish
It was so easy to run out and play

I'm gettin' tired of hangin' round
Think I will marry and settle down
'Cause this old night life
This old sportin' life is killin' me

This old night life
This old sportin' life is killin' me
