[Intro]
O yes, my Lord
He will surely bring you peace
O yes, my Lord
He will surely bring you peace
(O yes) And this is nothing new
(O yes) It's just the same old blues
(O yes) And like a devil on my shoulder
(Lord) And nothing left to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
You can never break my heart
Everything will fall apart
And you can never save my soul
I think it's time to let me go

[Chorus]
I keep on having this dream
Where I'm stuck in a hole and I can't get out
There's always something that's pulling me down
Down, down

[Post-Chorus]
(O yes) And this is nothing new
(O yes) It's just the same old blues
(O yes) And this is nothing new
(Lord) It's just the same old blues
[Verse 1]
Today, I lost my future to the past
I got nobody left, I'm going nowhere fast
Never getting far away enough
Like a shadow on the sidewalk, I can't shake it off

[Pre-Chorus]
You can never change my mind
I think I'm running out of time
You can never save my soul
I think it's time to let me go

[Chorus]
I keep on having this dream
Where I'm stuck in a hole and I can't get out
There's always something that's pulling me down
Down, down
My heart is down on its knees so I try
Oh, I try
But it's too late now
There's always something that's pulling me down
Down, down

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
I keep on having this dream
Where I'm stuck in a hole and I can't get out
There's always something that's pulling me down
Down, down
My heart is down on its knees
And no one is hearing me screaming
There's always something that's pulling me down
Down, down
[Outro]
(O yes) And this is nothing new
(O yes) It's just the same old blues
(O yes) And this is nothing new
It's just the same old blues
