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.
