Mean Old Fireman & the Cruel Engineers - Outrun the Blues

Some times my boss gets on my case
Some times rides me hard like a mule
But If I let it bring me down
I gonna look just like a clown
'Cause I took a knife to a gunfight with the blues

My instinct's always been to stay and fight
Experience keeps teaching me that never turns out right
Because the blues they just don't care
They've never been known to fight fair
I'm gonna get on down the road and outrun the blues

My lady's been seen with a B-shift truckie
I swear she's out to make me the fool
But if I win that fight I'll fail
'Cause I'll land my butt in jail
And have a 99 year battle with the blues

My instinct's always been to stay and fight
Experience keeps teaching me that never turns out right
Because the blues they just don't care
They've never been known to fight fair
I'm gonna get on down the road and outrun the blues

I lost my best friend to his demons
Though we all saw it coming, that is true
But I ain't gonna crack a bottle
I'm gonna open up the throttle
I'm gonna get on down the road and outrun the blues

My instinct's always been to stay and fight
Experience keeps teaching me that never turns out right
Because the blues they just don't care
They've never been known to fight fair
I'm gonna get on down the road and outrun the blues
