Woke up shook my head to lose the blues
Slick back my hair, put on my shoes
Straighten out my almost clean shirt
Lookin' good, man don't ever hurt
Stroll down the stairs and have a smoke
One arm at a time pull on my coat
One more look, another toke
Out the door and that's all she wrote
Nothing to do but waste the day away
Nothing left to do but chase the blues away
Yeah I chase the blues away
Sunshine is warm, a little too bright
Flip my shades down, I gotta dim the light
Warm face and an aching head
Concrete the only cold path ahead
Leave behind footsteps and what she said
Gotta get that girl outta my aching head
Nothing to do but waste the day away
Nothing left to do but chase the blues away
I chase the blues away
I chase the blues away
Wasting the day away
Yeah
Turned myself around, tired of feeling down
Back tracked the blues I dropped on the ground
Slicked back my hair nothing left to say
I gotta stop wasting the day away
Shouldn't have to chase the blues
