$5000 Blues

I’ve got the 5000 dollar blues
I’m justa sittin in here in my hotel room
Writin up this snappy tune
To cure the 5000 dollar blues

I’ve got the 5000 dollar blues
I’m justa sittin here feeling real confused
Shall I try again
I can’t stand to lose
I’ve got the 5000 dollar blues

So now I’ll go down to that smokey room
Hoping I can change my tune
And come back singing like birds in June
And cure the 5000 dollar blues
I lost the 5000 dollar blues
I had the 5000 dollar blues
