Eric Clapton and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Lyrics
"I Got the Same Old Blues"

Have you heard that rumor, that's goin' around
You've got a man, 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

Well, 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

When you gave me the business, you know I get a mind
'Cause I 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

I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talkin' to you and I ain't comin' out
Yeah I heard that rumor, tell me where does it end?
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
