There's a world outside my window
That I just can't bear
Blues held me up against the wall
For way too long
Momma said I drink too much, babe
Can't hold it down
Blues held me up against the wall
For way too long
Can't stop me now, babe
Got it running through my veins
Had my back against the wall
For way too long
Sing blues and fold some rhymes
till the day comes around
I had my back against the wall
For way too long
There's a world outside my window
That I just can't bear
Blues held me up against the wall
For way too long
Momma said I drink too much, babe
Can't hold it down
Blues held me up against the wall
For way too long
