Empty Bag Blues

 

Chorus

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to smooth

The nerves that run through my body

 

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to lose

Except my mind if my dealer forgets me

 

Verse 1

So I woke up this morning

Reached for me bag

Head was pounding

Take away the bad

 

Verse 2

Smoke rises

Puff puff puff

Smoke rises

One more puff

 

Chorus

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to smooth

The nerves that run through my body

 

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to lose

Except my mind if my dealer forgets me

 

Verse 3

I mellow back

In my big green chair

Haze rises

Music fills the air

 

Verse 4

Smoke rises

Puff puff puff

Smoke rises

One more puff

 

Chorus

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to smooth

The nerves that run through my body

 

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to lose

Except my mind if my dealer forgets me

 

Verse 5

Bag now empty

Yes I smoked it all

Anxiety is rising

Make that call

 

Verse 6

Voices replace

Music in my head

World out to get me

Overrun with dread

 

Chorus

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to smooth

The nerves that run through my body

 

Got the empty bag blues

Got nothing to lose

Except my mind if my dealer forgets me
