Got a '68 Camaro with four on the floor A rebuilt carburator, man that thing'll roar
Well it's a real head-turner, it can fly and it can cruise
It can do damn near anything but it can't outrun the blues
Well I've been to foreign countries and across all fifty states
I've met dignitaries and I've stamped license plates
I'm no stranger to the highway, going anywhere I choose
But one thing I've come to know, I can't outrun the blues
* I feel em' hiding in the darkness and shining in the light
Every minute, every hour, they ain't far outta sight
Well I thought I could get past 'em but no matter what I do I can't outrun the blues
Well sometimes I think I'm haunted, feeling spirits from beyond
They show up to remind me of all that I've done wrong
Just when I think I shake 'em your memory flips a fuse
It'll hold me down forever, cause I can't outrun the blues
