The Deadly Sickness Blues
[Verse]
Doctor said, "Boy, your clock's tickin' fast".
I said, "Pour me a double, let's make this one last"!
I ain't gone yet, got some livin' to do
So I'm singin' real loud these deadly sickness blues!
[Chorus]
I got the deadly sickness blues - hey, don't cry for me
I'll be laughin' and drinkin', raisin' hell till I'm free
When I check out, I'll go out tappin' my shoes
Grinnin' ear to ear with these deadly sickness blues!
Ooh-ooh-ooh, got the deadly sickness blues
[Verse]
Don't want no sad songs, don't wear no black
Just crank up the jukebox and line up the Jack
If heaven won't take me, I'll raise hell with the crew
Still stompin' the floor with these deadly sickness blues!
[Chorus]
I got the deadly sickness blues - hey, don't cry for me
I'll be laughin' and drinkin', raisin hell till I'm free
When I check out, I'll go out tappin' my shoes
Grinnin' ear to ear with these deadly sickness blues!
Ooh-ooh-ooh, got the deadly sickness blues
[Bridge]
So turn up that guitar, let the drummer get loud
If the Reapers come knockin', he can wait in the crowd
I ain't slowing down, got too much to choose
Gonna dance through the night with these deadly sickness blues!
[Chorus]
I got the deadly sickness blues - hey, don't cry for me
I'll be laughin' and drinkin', raisin hell till I'm free
When I check out, I'll go out tappin' my shoes
Grinnin' ear to ear with these deadly sickness blues!
Ooh-ooh-ooh, got the deadly sickness blues
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, got the deadly sickness blues
