Blues Run the Game - Eddi Reader

Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain

Wherever I have gone, wherever I’ve been and gone

The blues run the game

Send out for whiskey, baby, send out for gin

Me and room service, honey, me and room service you know

We’re living a life of sin

When I’m not drinking, baby, you’re on my mind

When I’m not sleeping, honey, when I’m not sleeping well you know

You’ll find me crying

Try another city baby, some other 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, so much older

I’ll wake up older and I’ll just stop all my trying

Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain

Wherever I have gone, wherever I have been and gone

Wherever I have gone the blues run the game
