Shady Tavern Blues Lyrics

This song is about a time in my life

That I stayed out at the clubs at night

I wish now I could go back in time

And try to make everything right

But I guess all of us learn from mistakes

That we make along the way

And remember the lessons that we learned

From living my life that way

The shady tavern blues that is

They come from staying out all night

These blues will take away your life

And will win without fight

We try to control these blues with tequila

And rum and whiskey on ice

But these blues are self manifested

And your future a roll of a dice

These blues will never give back what they took

They'll rob your life and take it on down

They will fool you into thinking you're just fine

When the truth is never so far gone

The shady tavern blues, that is

They come from staying out all night

These blues will take control of your life

They will win without a fight – if you let them
