Black days and blue nights
Color in your blues
Feeling strange 'til you cry and scream
It's somebody else's dues

It never came easy
Oh, you are nobody's fool
I say you never saw it coming
That you are a priceless jewel

Black days and blue nights
That never end in song
Last call fades and the last note dies
Turn around and you're gone
From the depths of your misery
Somewhere deep down in your soul

Somehow in spite of yourself
Came rock and roll

Black days and blue nights
Hell hands at the door
Lost somewhere into the crossroads
Ain't coming back no more
The train has left the station
And your back's gathering dust
Well, the slide has lost its mojo
And the strings have turned to rust
Turned to rust

Yeah, the slide has lost its mojo
And the strings have turned to rust, yeah
Turned to rust
