Lyrics
KARMA BLUES
Some days the Karma hits me,
Like a rolled up newspaper
Upside my head-
Hits me when I least expect it,
Paying the price
For the things I?ve said-
?Bout time I learned my lesson,
Paying the cost to
Sing the blues
?Til that day,
I keep on paying my Karmic Dues-
I keep finding the same damn potholes,
Traveling the same roads,
For years and years-
Trying to get somewhere else,
But I always end up here-
Surrender to the higher power
You can?t win until you loose
Now I humbly pay
My Karmic Dues-
Bridge Vocal:
All the things I thought I knew,
Words I?ve said, the good and bad-
Keep coming back to me, Keep coming back to me-
Anger, fear, the pain and the tears
Day by day, year after year-
Keep coming back to me,
Pay my debt and make my peace-
And when the party?s over,
I?ll be on my knees and all alone-
When the man comes to take me
And the spirits call my soul back home-
I know, I?ve learned my lesson,
Forget the things, I thought I new
Til that day,
I keep on paying
My Karmic Dues-
