The Daily Blues Lyrics

Steppenwolf

Words and music by John Kay, Rocket Ritchotte and Michael Wilk

Hey baby, you and I should get together
Hey, baby, come on girl, let's get away
Just maybe, we'll get lucky with the weather
Just maybe, sun will shine like this all day
Oh baby, got the need to leave the city
Oh baby, I got the need to feel the breeze
Go crazy, let's go somewhere we can really
Go crazy, and take our share of liberties

Runnin' away just for today, we're running away
Got nothin' to lose just my old shoes and the daily blues

Hey baby, ain't nobody gonna stop us
Hey baby, nothin's gonna waste our time
Just maybe, we'll go ridin' in the country
Just maybe, we'll be hidin' from the grind
Oh baby, soon we'll be alone together
Oh baby, let's get wild and have some fun
Go crazy, 'til we feel a whole lot better
Go crazy, we'll take our pleasure on the run

Runnin' away just for today, we're running away
Got nothin' to lose just my old shoes and the daily blues
