I'm gonna leave this place tomorrow
I'm gonna leave this town behind
I'll be gone before the morning
On the other side of the mound
That's why I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I've been hanging around too long
It's time I was moving on

I've been tired of the same old faces
And I'm sick of the same old names
I'm getting bored with the same old places
Everybody starts to look the same
That's why I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I've been hanging around too long
It's time I was moving on

I've been trying to settle down here
But my feet just won't stay still
And I heard that the grass is greener
On the other side of the hill
That's why I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I've been hanging around too long
It's time I was moving on
Give me one more for the road!

I'm gonna leave this town tomorrow
I'm gonna leave this place behind
You can bet your bottom dollar
All my troubles will be far behind
That's why I'm moving on
I'm a-moving on
I've been hanging around too long
It's time I was moving on
I've been hanging around too long
It's time I was moving on
Said I've been hanging around too long
It's time I was moving on
Wow! Get out of here!

Oh pretty woman sure's the risin' sun
Says all your cheap paint and powder
Ain't gonna help you none

'Cos she's a pretty woman
Right down to her bones
So you might as well leave your skin alone

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh pretty woman whatcha gonna do
You kept on foolin' around
Till I got stuck on you
So you can drop your messin'
Come down off your throne
Stop using my poor heart
As just a steppin' stone

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh pretty woman that's all right for you
Now you just go on doin' what you wanna do
But someday when you think
That you got it made
You're gettin' water deep enough
So you can't wade

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Can't make you love me
No matter what I do
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh pretty woman
Just can't make you love me

You know I love you
You know it's true
I'll give you all my love, babe
What more can I do

I'm walking by myself
I hope you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man

I love you
Yes I love you with my heart and soul
I wouldn't mistreat you
For my waiting gold

I said I'm walking by myself
I hope you understand
I just want to be your lovin'
I just want to be your lovin'
I just want to be your lovin' man

Used to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay

I found out that love
Was no friend of mine
I should have known
Time after time

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy
To fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found out that love
Was more than just a game
Playing to win
But you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I've seen your face
But here in my heart there's an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you

One, two, three, four!

Let me tell you about the Texas blues!

I went down south to Dallas
To hear those cowboys wail
Came across that Billy Gibbons
That ol' man ZZ trail
I just can't lose with the Texas blues
I said I just can't lose with the Texas blues
The Texas blues

Got myself in double trouble
When I saw that Texas Flood
Stevie sais the sky is crying
Superstitions in his blood
I just can't lose with the Texas blues
I said I just can't lose with the Texas blues
The Texas blues
Howl, howl, howl, howl!

I heard that Houston Twister
Well, he can run you off the tracks
When he plays that cold cold feeling
You get the shivers down your back
I just can't lose with the Texas blues
I said I just can't lose with the Texas blues
The Texas blues
Howl, howl, howl, howl!

Well, I'm going back to Dallas
Walk or waiting for your bus
Riding off into the sunset
You won't see my feet for dust
I just can't lose with the Texas blues
I said I just can't lose with the Texas blues
I said I just can't lose with the Texas blues
Well I just can't lose with the Texas blues
The Texas blues
The Texas blues
Howl, howl, howl, howl!
Howl, howl, howl, howl!

I lay down last night
Too tired to wake
I had a chill this morning
Too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand
Too tired to win
I can hear my baby knockin'
Too tired to let her in
I'm tired
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm tired
Too tired
Too tired for anything

I'm too tired to walk
Too tired to run
I can hear my baby callin'
Too tired too tired

I'm tired
Yes I'm tired
I'm tired
Too tired for anything

(Take over Albert, I'm too tired for this!)

I'm tired of prospherity
I'm tired of luck
I'm sitting on a pin
I'm too tired to get up

I'm tired
I declare I'm tired
I'm too tired
Too tired for anything

(Oh Albert I'm tired!)

(You better take over, Albert!)

I'm too tired baby!

He was born in Mississippi in 1924
He was born in Mississippi in 1924
Left his home with no money
He had to pay his dues
But he knew the time was coming
When he'll be king of the blues
King of the blues

Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name (yes, it was!)
When he hears her sing so sweetly
He knows he just can't lose
When he holds her in his arms he knows
That he's the king of the blues

He's "The Hunter" with the "Crosscut Saw"
"Born Under a Bad Sign"
Found his baby messin' down the "Laundromat"
He "Almost Lost his Mind"
Yeah!

He was born in Mississippi in 1924
He was born in ol' Mississippi in 1924
Doesn't need no Jester
To keep him amused
He's got Lucy by his side
He's making headline news
Doesn't need no palace
Like Freddie down in Dallas
Well you can call him what you like
I call him "King of the Blues"
(That's right! Mr Albert King of the blues!)

Let me hear you!

There is nothing I can do
As you leave me here to cry
There is nothing I can do
As you leave me here to cry
You know my love will follow you
As the years go passing by

Gave you all that I own
That's one thing you can't deny
Gave you all that I own
That's one thing you can't deny
You know my love will follow you
As the years go passing by

Gonna leave it up to you
So long, so long, goodbye
Gonna leave it up to you
So long, so long, goodbye
You know my love will follow you
As the years go passing by

Gonna leave it up to you
So long, so long, goodbye
Gonna leave it up to you
So long, so long, goodbye
You know my love will follow you
As the years go passing by

It's the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
It's a million miles
From the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues

When the shadows fall
I feel the night closin' in
There must be some reason
For this mood I'm gettin' in
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues

Every evening after sundown
As the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
Why these blues won't go away

Every evening after sundown
As the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
Why these blues won't go away

It's the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
It's a million miles
From the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues

I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues

She's that kind of woman
No doubt about how she feels
She's holding promises
Her eyes won't tell
Her lips are sealed
And I like her like that
She's kind of crazy
I think I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman
I think I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman

Standing in the doorway
With the sunlight in her hair
She's watching the wind blow
You know she don't have a care
I like her like that
She's kind of crazy
I think I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman
I think I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman

She's got to look so cool
You know what I mean
Got the wickedest smile that I've ever seen
I'd crash my heart on the side of the street
That she once stood on
She's that kind of woman

I like her like that
She's pretty amazing
I understand why I want some more
Of that kind of woman
One look from hell knocks me on the floor
That kind of woman

She's that kind of lady
That you meet in a dream of dreams
Put others in shadows
But you know this woman's real
And I like her like that
She's kind of crazy
I think I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman
I think I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman
I think I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman

I said I know what I'm looking for
That kind of woman
That kind of woman
That kind of woman

All your lovin' is lovin'
All your kissin' is kissin'
All your lovin' is lovin'
All your kissin' is kissin'
Before I met you baby
I never knew what I was missin'

All your lovin' pretty baby
That I got in store for you
All your lovin' pretty baby
That I got in store for you
When I say I love you baby
You gotta say you love me too

All your lovin' pretty baby

When I say I love you baby
You gotta say you love me too

All your lovin' pretty baby

Oh baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around with my heart
Baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around with my heart
And if you don't stop messin'
Pretty soon we're gonna part
Oh baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around all the time
Baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around all the time
And if you don't stop messin' baby
You're gonna be someone elses baby, not mine

Squeeze me baby
Till my face turn cherry red
Roll me so hard
I'll fall right out of bed
Please stop messin' around
You're messin' around all the time
If you don't stop messin' baby
You're gonna be someone else's baby, not mine

[instrumental]

I can't eat
I can't sleep
Stare at the ceiling
I can't sleep
Ever since you walked out
You left me with the blues

I get angry
I get mad
Think about before it turned so bad
Ever since you walked
You left me with the blues

I never thought that it could end like this
If you would treat me this way
I never thought that I'd live to see
The day you'd turn your back on me

I just can't seem to see straight
There's no way I can concentrate
Ever since you walked
You left me with the blues

Play some blues

I never thought that it would end like this
If you would treat me this way
I never thought that I'd live to see
The day you'd turn your back on me

I just can't seem to see straight
There's no way I can concentrate
Ever since you walked
And left me with the blues
Ever since you walked
And left me with the blues

Yeah, I wanna hear some more blues

Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me
Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me
Further on up the road
Just you wait and see

Now you're laughing pretty baby
But one day you'll be cryin'
You're laughing pretty baby
But one day you'll be cryin'
Further on up the road
You'll see I wasn't lyin'

Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me
Further on up the road
Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me

It was early one morning I was walking down the street
It was early one morning I was walking down the street
I saw my baby with another man
Made my poor heart skip a beat

Well she was looking at him
The way she looks at me
She was looking at him
The way she looks at me
I was blinded by my tears
I thought that I'd never see

Well she's a mean cruel woman
As cruel as a woman could be
She's a mean cruel woman
As cruel as a woman could be
This time you pushed me too far baby
You're gonna see the back of me

Well she's a mean cruel woman
As cruel as a woman could be
I said she's a mean cruel woman
Cruel as a woman could be
This time I'm walking out the door
You're gonna see the back of me

She's a mean cruel woman
As cruel as a woman can be
I said she's a mean cruel woman
Cruel as a woman could be
This time I'm walking out the door
You're gonna see the back of me

The sky is cryin'
Look at the tears rollin' down the street
The sky is cryin'
Look at the tears rollin' down the street
I been lookin' for my baby
I wonder where she can be
That's right

I saw my baby one mornin'
And she was walkin' on down the street
I saw my baby one mornin'
And she was walkin' on down the street
Yes, she was
You know it hurt me so bad
It made my poor heart skip a beat
Here we go, play it for me

I've got a bad, bad feelin'
My baby don't love me no more
I've got a bad, bad feelin'
My baby don't love me no more, no
The sky is cryin'
Woh, look at the tears rolling down my nose
The sky is cryin'
Look at the tears rollin' down the street, yeah
The sky is cryin'
Look at the tears rollin' down the street
I been lookin' for my baby
I wonder where my baby can be
