Lyrics:

Listen to me now
So it's understood
This runnin' round life
Ain't doing me no good
I get tired
So tired of payin dues
But there ain't no way around it
No way round these runnin' blues

Well I like to run around
Like to have my fun
I'm no stranger
In nobody's town
But I get tired
So tired of changing views
But there aint no way around it
No way round these runnin blues

Well this runnin' round life
Might seem nice n easy
When you´re blowing with the wind
Sometimes it gets real breezy
A man gets tired
Feel like I was born to lose sometimes
But there ain't no way around it
No way round these runnin' blues

(very long musical interlude)

Got no holes in my pockets
No holes in my shoes
But I don't know if I'm leaving Detroit
Or pullin into Baton Rouge
I get tired
Get so tired of changin' views
But there ain't no way around it
No way round these runnin' blues

Left my passport at the airport
Suitcase on a train
Now I can't find my umbrella
And it sure looks like rain
A man gets tired
So tired of playin' to lose
But there aint no way around it
No way round these runnin blues

Well the night lifes no good
But it's my life too
Once you're bound to this highway
There ain't nothing you can do
Except get tired
Oh get tired of paying your dues
Cos there ain't no way around it
No way round the runnin' blues
