LYRICS
Verse
I came in from being out till half-past two o’clock
Couldn’t get past the front door cause my baby changed the lock
She said that she was over me; she said that we were through
I guess I missed the signals; I didn’t catch the clues
Then my friend gave me his guitar, said there’s only one thing to do
Pour my sorrows out in the 12-bar blues
So, I’m starting on the corner - down at Dudley’s Cruise-On Inn
Then I’m moving on to One-Eyed Jack’s - do a round with all my friends
Have some shots with this Marine - at the Texas Rose Café
Now I’ve made my way to K.T.’s, - and Miz Newbies by the bay
I’m walking off my heartache and wearing out my shoes
So far its five bars later but I still have the blues
Chorus
Won’t somebody help me (somebody help me)
Tell me what I’m doing wrong (what I’m doing wrong)
I’ve been working on these 12 bars, the way they told me to
But I ain’t feeling any better and she’s still gone - she’s gone
Verse
I hit the White Horse, the Long Horn - and Johnny’s Hideaway
Cowboy hats and tiki lamps – it’s been a long, strange day
The Elks’ Club, the Moose Lodge - the VFW Hall
Then I struck out at the All Night Lanes when I missed the last call
Settled for the Claremont, not a place I’d usually choose
But now its 12 bars later and I still have the blues
Chorus
Won’t somebody help me (somebody help me)
Tell me what I’m doing wrong (what I’m doing wrong)
I’ve been working on these 12 bars, the way they told me to
But I ain’t feeling any better and she’s still gone
Won’t somebody help me (somebody help me)
Tell me what I’m doing wrong (what I’m doing wrong)
I’ve been working on these 12 bars, the way they told me to
But I ain’t feeling any better and she’s still gone
(spoken) Say, what’d my buddy give me his dang guitar for anyway?
