I've traveled 'cross the country
I've sung with lots of bands
I've played in those big cities
That book those one night stands
I'm lonely and I'm weary
I know the scene so well
The blues have come to get me
And to drag me down to hell
But I keep travelin'
What have I got to lose?
I keep travelin'
Unravelin' all my blues
I check into a hotel
And then forget its name
Yes, I could ask, but oh well
Aren't all hotels just the same
Sink into the mattress
Pray god my soul to keep
The blues are in the streets
Cries that haunt my troubled sleep
But I keep travelin'
What have I got to lose?
I just keep on
Unravelin' all my blues
I wake up every morning
Wonder where I'm at
I look into the mirror
And ask myself, "Who's that?"
I left behind a good man
A face I can't recall
And yet I love my old man
Or no man's been loved at all
But I keep travelin'
What have I got to lose?
Just keep on travelin'
Unravelin' all my blues
I know the blues confuse me
Hold me in their trap
The lead me and they lose me
While round my brain they wrap
A web of lonely journeys
All spawned from evil thread
That twist and turn and tangle me
Until my soul is dead
But I keep travelin'
What have I got to lose?
I just keep on travelin'
Tryin' to lose all my blues
