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
