Wallowin' in the Blues
 
 
 

 

Don't know why I feel so bad / When you all feel so good
I don't know what to do / And you're all doin' what ya should
I got no place to go / And I wouldn't go there if I could
I'm wallowin' in the blues tonight / I'm wallowin' in the blues

Can't say that I want to work / Don't know if I want to play
I'm scared of bein' famous / And I want to be famous right away
I feel like such a jerk / And I just want to run away
I'm wallowin' in the blues tonight / I'm wallowin' in the blues

Took a toke of marijuana / Tripped for three weeks straight
Took a tip from good ol' Mama / I hope it's not too late
They're gonna shrinkwrap my dilemma / And put pink pills on my plate
I'm wallowin' in the blues again / I'm wallowin' in the blues

Been this way for years and years / Since nineteen ninety-three
Gonna be this way forever / Just you wait and see
Bein' blue is my life work / Blue is the way I'm gonna be
I'm wallowin' in the blues tonight / I'm wallowin' in the blues

There must be some way out / And that's the way to go
If I only had no doubt / But I really have to know for sure
And 'til I'm feelin' certain / I'll go on feelin' low
I'm gonna wallow in the blues tonight / Gonna wallow in the blues
