A Hard Road

John Mayall · Historic Live Shows 3 [2009]

I let a life slip through my fingers

Where am I gonna turn?

I'm the causing of the trouble

And it makes my poor heart burn



I been trying to tell you people

That the blues hit me in my life

You know I was born for trouble

And it's a hard road till I die



I've loved and lost so many women

The cause of many broken heart

Drank and drifted through the years

And watched my family fall apart



I'm gonna pack up my suitcase

Put my misery inside

Throw in a bit of pain and trouble

And that's the road I'll ride
