Lyrics

Poor otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor otis dead and gone

Yeah, back down, turn 'round slowly
Try it again, remembering when
It was easy, try it again
Much too easy remembering when

All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin' blues
Don't fight, too much to lose
Can't fight the runnin' blues

Well, I've got the runnin' blues
Runnin' away, back to l.a
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a

Runnin' scared, runnin' blue
Goin' so fast, what'll I do?

Well, I've got the runnin' blues
Runnin' away, back to l.a
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in l.a

All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin' blues
Don't fight, too much to lose;
Can't fight the runnin' blues

All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin' blues
Don't fight, too much to lose;
Can't fight the runnin' blues
