Zz Top - 2000 Blues lyrics

A hundred thousand dollars

Wouldn't touch the price I paid

Of the hundred thousand moments

Of the times I wish I'd stayed.

But even if I had all the time and money

It's still the same old news.

Nothin' does you any good

When you got 2000 blues.

Ten thousand clouds

On a rainy rainy day

Couldn't wash away

All the dust and the haze.

But I tried and I tried

To search for all the clues

Why I can't wash away

These 2000 blues.

If I had an airplane

With a co-pilot too

I'd fly to a planet

That was closest to you.

I'd set the tracking system

With your safety fuse

And set the countdown

For 2000 blues.
