Sporting Life Blues - Eric Clapton/J.J. Cale/Brownie McGhee

I'm getting tired of runnin' around

Think i will marry and settle down

All this night life this ole sportin' life

It's killin' me

I got a letter from my home

Most of my friends need gow

It'll make you worry

It'll make you wonder 'bout days to come

My mother used to talk to me

I was young and foolish could not see

Now i have no mother my sisters

And my brothers they don't care for me

I swear i'm gonna change my way

I'm getting older every day

When i was young and foolish

It was so easy to run and play

I'm getting tired

I'm getting tired of hangin' around of hangin' around

Think i will marry

Think i will marry and settle down and settle down

Cause this night life this ole sportin' life

It's killin' me

This night life this ole sportin' life

It's killin' me
