It`s 2 am another motel room and the boys,
They`ll be sleeping soon.
But I`m up and around and feeling blue
With not much of anything to do.
Maybe I`ll walk down the hall.
See if I can find anyone at all
To get up and head out for a beer.
Or we could just sit and talk in here.
Oh it kills me all these slow nights paying my dues.
But, there ain`t nothing wrong
Just a late night case of the blues.
Somewhere down in my soul
An angel lives but he lost control
And the devil, he gives the dice a roll
And he takes my heart for a spin.
But in the morning I`ll be fine,
The birds will sing and sun will shine.
Cause I`m washed in the blood and born again,
But on nights like this I`d even question him.
Forgive me father for being so confused.
Let`s just chalk it all up to a late night case of the blues.
The phone`s been ringing loud and clear
About a thousand miles from here
And I wonder if she knows my fear
Or if she`s even home.
Maybe I`ll go walking around
Or take a taxicab downtown
Or lay a five-dollar bill on the ground by the wino
While he`s sleeping.
I can`t help but feel like I`m being used.
Lord. Help me get over this late night case of the blues
