Poor Otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor Otis dead and goneYeah, back down, turn around slowly
Try it again, rememberin' when
It was easy, try it again
Much to easy, rememberin' whenAll right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin' blues
Don't fight, too much to lose
Can't fight the runnin' bluesWell, I've got the runnin' blues
Runnin' away, back to L.A.
Got to find the dock in 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 in 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' bluesAll right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walkin' blues
Don't fight, too much to lose
Can't fight the runnin' blues
