The song Shot Gun Blues is performed by The Blues Brothers in the album named Briefcase Full of Blues in the year 1995 .
Every night I go to sleep the blues fall down like rain
Every night I go to sleep the blues fall down like rain
Takin' pills and cheap whiskey just to try to ease the pain
It's hard to gamble when you lose every bet
Hard to save money when you're twenty years in debt
The blues is fallin', fallin' down me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people, and disconnect my brain
(Guitar solo)
I made some mistakes
Had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work and my whole body aches
The blues is fallin', fallin' down me like rain
My life is like water, just swirlin' down the drain
Well, tried standin' up; keep on fallin' down
Tried standin' up; keep on fallin' down
Everywhere I go the blues is all around
