I Got the Same Old Blues

[Verse 1: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]

Have you heard that rumour that's a-going around?

You got it made way across town

It's the same old story, tell me where does it end

Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

[Verse 2: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]

When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong

I stood at your doorway, but you were gone

I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring

It's the same old blues, same old blues again

[Verse 3: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]

When you give me the business, you know I get a mind

'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time

It's the same old story, tell me where does it end

It's the same old blues, same old blues again

[Verse 4: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]

I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out

I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out

Yes, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end

Yeah it's the same old blues, same old blues again
