dui blues lyrics

DUI BLUES

Verse I: I woke up this morning in the county jail
My head was splitting and my face was pale
Pissed off psycho in the bed next to me
It dawned on me I would never be free

Chorus: I got the DUI blues
I had too much booze
And got behind the wheel of my car
Oh Lord the blue light shining behind me (sound of siren)

Verse 2: My girlfriend dumped me and I was feeling down
Had to see people so I headed downtown
A few too many and was feeling frisky
God knows I never meant to drink all that whisky

Chorus: I got the DUI blues
I had too much booze
Should never have gone to that god dam bar
Oh Lord the blue light shining behind me (sound of siren)

Verse 3: My job is going down the drain
God help me things will never be the same
I refused to blow but with lawyers and jail time
My existence ain’t worth a dime

Chorus: I got the DUI blues
I had to much booze
I never meant to go that far
Oh Lord the blue light shining behind me (sound of siren)
Fade: Oh Lord the blue light shining behind me (sound of cop saying “you have the right to remain
Silent”.
