Poor and lonely is the life we lead and it just don't seem to jive
sometimes we feel like we're barely alive,
we start to cook and then we book
to another boogie bar in a little shanty town serving
grandad on the rocks

Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone

Now we're back on the road, cruisin for cash again
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
Feelin' low down in another sad town and our music is all we got
but we know damn well we'll be feelin' just swell when we're
back with those mamas of ours

Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone

Now don't let us fool ya, we love that rock n' roll
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
we can play all night, don't need no help at all
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
We don't need no love or money for us
to play that boogie woogie for you

Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone

Now we're back on the road, cruisin for cash again
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
Feelin' low down in another sad town and our music is all we got
but we know damn well we'll be feelin' just swell when we're
back with those mamas of ours

Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone

Bop shoo wop, bop shoo way
