Blues run the game

Mark Lanegan


Catch a boat to England, baby 
Maybe to Spain 
Wherever I have gone 
Wherever I've been and gone 
Wherever I have gone, the blues run the game 
Send out for whiskey, baby 
Send out for gin 
Me and room service, baby 
Me and room service, honey 
Me and room service, well we're living like a sin 
When I'm not drinking, baby 
You are on my mind 
When I'm not sleeping 
When I'm not sleeping 
When I'm not sleeping, well you know, you`ll find me crying 
[*this section came from the Nick Drake site, though it was not performed by Mark 
Try another city, baby 
Try another town 
Wherever I have gone 
Wherever I've been and gone 
Wherever I have gone, the blues run the game 
Well maybe someday, baby 
Somewhere down the line 
I`ll wake up older, honey 
So much older I`ll wake up older and just stop all my trying*] 
Living is a gamble baby 
Loving's much the same 
Where ever I have gone 
Where ever I've been and gone 
Where ever I have gone 
The blues have run the game 
Catch a boat to England, baby 
Maybe to Spain 
Wherever I have gone 
Wherever I've been and gone 
Wherever I have gone, the blues run the game
