Eric Clapton – Sporting Life Blues Lyrics  Share

From Eric Clapton's album: The Road To Escondido

(feat. J.J. Cale)

I^,m tired of runnin^, around,
Think I will marry and settle down
This ole sportin^, life,
It is a mean life, and it^,s killin^, me

I got a letter from my home,
All of my schoolmates, they^,re dead an^,gone
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, Brownie could not see
Now, I have no mother, my sisters
And my brothers, they don^,t care for me

Mama used to fall on her knees an^, pray,
These are the words, mother,she used to say
[ Sporting Life Blues lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/eric-clapton/sporting-life-blues/ ]
She would say: "Brownie, wha-oh,
My son, please change your way"

Now, I^,m goin^, to change my way,
I^,m growin^, older each and every day
When I was young and foolish,
I was so easy, easy to let ...

I was a gambler and a cheater, too, now,
It^,s come my turn to lose
This ole sportin^, life,
Got the best hand, what can I do?

There ain^,t but one thing Brownie done wrong,
I liv^,d that ole sportin^, life too long
Friends, it^,s no good, please believe me,
Please leave it alone
