Lyrics 12 O’Clock Blues - The SteelDrivers

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

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

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

I told my doctor this ain't no way to live
I'll take anything he's willing to give
Double the dosage, and it's still no use
Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

They say confession is good for the soul
Lately, my burdens have been takin' their toll
Talk to my preacher; he said, "I've been there, too"
Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

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

I see it comin' from the moment i rise
It won't matter how I spend my time
The night comes on, and there ain't nothin' new
Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blues

Ooh-ooh
What can I do?
Ooh-ooh
Waitin' on those late night, midnight, 12 o'clock blue
