Lyrics for Leave My Blues At Home

I've been trapped inside four walls, feel like I can't call to no one Way out on the outside Well, livin' alone is easy, but too long just don't seem really Quite the thing to do, Lord Think I'll drink up a little more wine To ease my worried mind And walk down on the street And leave my blues at home (Alright) The landlord is on my line, I can't get no peace of mind But I know there's something better I can't stay and I can't run, can't keep waitin' for someone To find and go roll Well, I'll gather up all my four leaf clovers Don't leave, I'm on my way over A walk down on the street And leave my blues at home (Alright) I feel I have to scream Whenever I get to motion Lord, I tried so hard I can't hold back my emotions Oh! I love you, but I can't have ya' Won't you sit by my side (Oh! Come aside me) You don't work, the man don't pay ya' Here ain't no saint to come and save ya', oh! Puttin' your toll down Well, if you ride you pay the fare, with satan on your back and he don't care Where you come from or where you goin' And before I get myself all down I jump up and kick the door down And walk down on the street And leave my blues at home (alright) I'm on to leave at home It ain't no taking, no longer No yeah!
