Sporting Life Blues Songtext

feat. Eric Clapton

I'm getting tired
Of hanging 'round
Think I will marry
And settle down
'cos this old nightlife
This old sportlife
Is killing me

I've got a letter
From my home
Most of my friends are
Dead and gone
I begin to worry
I begin to wonder
'bout days to come
My mother used to
Talk to me
.grhh?opomksrrhp
I was young and foolish
And could not see
Now I've got no mother
My sisters and brothers
Don't care for me
I swear I'm gonna
Change my ways
I'm getting older
Everyday
When I was young and foolish
It was so easy
To run and play

I'm getting tired [I'm getting tired]
Of hanging 'round [of hanging 'round]
Think I will marry [think I will marry]
And settle down [and settle down]
'cos this old nightlife
This old sportlife
Is killing me
This old nightlife
This old sportlife
Is killing me
