It started in April, continued through May, darkness had caught me and in there I would stay
Cold sweat and heartbeats, way to fast, started to worry about how long I would last.
No matter what I tried, I just kept falling into the same old blues
Tried your prescriptions, drank my own shine, hell I even had your bitter potato wine
Bought me a Volvo, took it for a spin, but I ended up at the bottom of the sea
No matter what I tried, I just kept falling into the same old blues
Rise and shine, the doctor said, you must be the luckiest man that I've ever met
Now pick up your mojo and do what you should, life's too short and I guess I finally understood
No more bad luck, now I'm gonna pick myself up from this evil king blues
