Well I'm out of work, haven't got a dime
I'm so broke I ain't even got the time
Well I'm pounding the pavement all over town
But it seems I'm never needed every time I come around
I pack my sack and travel on
And hear the sound of gravel on my tired shoes
They got the blues
Well I don't know how far I've come and gone
And I don't know which direction is right or wrong
And I don't really care if I get there before long
I pack my sack and travel on
And hear the sound of gravel on my tired shoes
They got the blues
I thought when I was younger
I had too much to squander
Now all I do is wander
I close my eyes
My body cries
My tired shoes
They got the blues
Well I feel my body getting weak
And I'm feeling lost on a familiar street
I don't know how much longer I can wander with these sleepy feet
I pack my sack and travel on
And hear the sound of gravel on my tired shoes
They got the blues
