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