70’s Blues (record plant rough mixes) Songtext
von Betty Davis

I woke up this mornin′
I was feelin' so bad
I didn′t know what was wrong
I had a pain in my head

My mind was so troubled
From what I did not know
I took a look at my face in the mirror
And lo and behold

The blues was there
I said the blues was there

I felt like cryin'
But the tears would not come
I felt like talkin'
To someone, but no one was there

I started to thinkin′
And the more I thought, the more I dropped
I just kept right on sinkin′
'Cause I could not stop it


The blues had taken over
I said the blues had taken over

I woke up this mornin′
I should've never went to sleep
I wish I had a-kept on dreamin′
'Cause reality, it ain′t easy

I was dreamin' my life had changed
I was dreamin' ′bout peace of mind
And when I started dreamin′ 'bout me and you
Hmm, that′s when I woke up tired
Tired of the blues, I'm so tired of the blues

The blues are takin′ over
And I've lost control
The blues have taken over
And they′re runnin' my soul

Every day I've got the blues
Every night, night, night, night, night, night
I got the blues


Those livin′, lovin′
Tryin' to make it
Whoa, ′70s can't find their blues
And I got ′em bad
Go on and play now, go on and play

The blues have taken over
And I've lost control
The blues have taken over
And they′re runnin' my soul

Every day I've got the blues
Every night, night, night, night, night
I got the blues

Those livin′, lovin′
Tryin' to make it
Whoa, ′70s can't find their blues
And I got ′em bad, I got 'em bad
I got ′em bad

The blues have taken over
The blues are runnin' my soul
The blues have taken over
And I have lost control
