Heard the blues on the radio
Man it hits me like a hammer blow
I had a friend he played guitar
Got on the road and we hit the charts
We made the dives and we scored the dope
We drove the back roads earning our dough
Yes the blues is a bad habit
Shows no mercy when you get it
Yes the blues is a bad habit
Just another whistle-stop
White line fever will drop the clock
Time pa**es by and sleep won't come
So many places to do our songs
Yes the blues is a bad habit
Shows no mercy when you get it
Yes the blues is a bad habit
Last night we slept at the heartbreak hotel
For some reasons we didn't feel too well
Time's running out getting older every day
The only thing that's left for us is hit the road and play
Yes the blues is a bad habit
Shows no mercy when you get it
Yes the blues is a bad habit
