I've got a sad disposition, I've got a drag in my shoes
I'm a man on a mission, there ain't a game I can't lose
I've got a powerful engine custom made to go wrong
Got a heart and a mind that can't get along
And I'm so sick and tired of being hardwired for the blues
I've got a strong inclination to hard women and booze
It's the same destination whatever road I may choose
And there ain't no way to save me, I can't be modified
Ain't no angel who can save me, Lord how they tried
And I'm so sick and tired of being hardwired for the blues
Hardwired for the blues, hardwired for the blues
I swear if you don't believe me, just walk a mile in my shoes
Hardwired for the blues, hardwired for the blues
And I'm so sick and tired of being hardwired for the blues
I was born to take a beating, I've been battered and bruised
I'm prone to overheating, I'm always blowing my fuse
I can't keep myself together with the stuff I'm made of
Got a heart made for breaking, wasn't built to fall in love
And I'm so sick and tired of being hardwired for the blues
Hardwired for the blues, hardwired for the blues
I swear if you don't believe me, just walk a mile in my shoes
Hardwired for the blues, hardwired for the blues
And I'm so sick and tired of being hardwired for the blues
