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 around slowly 
Try it again, remembering when 
It was easy, try it again 
Much to easy, rememberin' 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
