It's 2 am another motel room and the boys,
They'll be sleeping soon
But I'm up and around and feeling blue
With not much of anything to do

Maybe I'll walk down the hall
See if I can find anyone at all
To get up and head out for a beer
Or we could just sit and talk in here
Oh it kills me all these slow nights paying my dues
But, there ain't nothing wrong
Just a late night case of the blues

Somewhere down in my soul
An angel lives but he lost control
And the devil, he gives the dice a roll
And he takes my heart for a spin
But in the morning I'll be fine,
The birds will sing and sun will shine

Cause I'm washed in the blood and born again,
But on nights like this I'd even question him
Forgive me father for being so confused
Let's just chalk it all up to a late night case of the blues

The phone's been ringing loud and clear
About a thousand miles from here
And I wonder if she knows my fear
Or if she's even home
Maybe I'll go walking around
Or take a taxicab downtown
Or lay a five-dollar bill on the ground by the wino
While he's sleeping
I can't help but feel like I'm being used
Lord Help me get over this late night case of the blues
