12 O'clock Blues Lyrics

Every morning the first thought that comes
The list of everything I haven't done
Keeps getting longer and it's not even noon
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

I used to meet up with my buddies in town
Talk about our day and share a few rounds
After they leave no telling what I'll go through
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

Ooh-ooh
Nothing to do
Ooh-ooh
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

Told my doctor this ain't no way to live
I'll take anything you're willing to give
Doubled the dosage and still it's no use
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

They say confession it good for the soul
Lately my burdens have been taking their toll
Talked to my preacher, he said "I've been there, too"
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

Ooh-ooh
What can I do
Ooh-ooh
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

I see it coming from the moment I rise
It won't matter how I spend my time
Night comes on and there ain't nothing new
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

Ooh-ooh
Nothing to do
Ooh-ooh
Waiting on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues
