[Verse 1: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]
Have you heard that rumour that's a-going around?
You got it made way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

[Verse 2: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway, but you were gone
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

[Verse 3: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]
When you give me the business, you know I get a mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

[Verse 4: Eric Clapton and Tom Petty]
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
Yes, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
Yeah it's the same old blues, same old blues again
