Same Old Night Blues — Traditional Slow Blues

“Same Old Night Blues” is a traditional slow blues about nights that never change,
where silence feels familiar and time moves without explanation.

There’s no drama here — just a quiet room, a ticking clock,
and the feeling of sitting through another night you already know.
This song leans on repetition, space, and restraint,
staying true to classic blues storytelling.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Same old night knocking on my door
Yeah same old night knocking on my door
Ain’t bringing nothing I ain’t felt before

[Verse 2]
The clock keeps talking but it don’t explain
Yeah the clock keeps talking but it don’t explain
Why every quiet hour feels the same

[Verse 3]
I sit right here where the light runs low
Yeah I sit right here where the light runs low
Watching my thoughts come and go

[Chorus]
These same old night blues holding me tight
Yeah these same old night blues holding me tight
They don’t hurt me loud, they hurt me right

[Verse 4]
Street outside breathing slow and thin
Yeah the street outside breathing slow and thin
Like it knows the shape I’m living in

[Verse 5]
I tried some words but they stayed inside
Yeah I tried some words but they stayed inside
Some truths don’t cross your tongue, they hide

[Chorus]
These same old night blues won’t let me run
Yeah these same old night blues won’t let me run
They stay till the dark gives way to sun

[Verse 6]
My guitar leans but it don’t complain
Yeah my guitar leans but it don’t complain
It knows every note don’t need a name

[Bridge]
If morning comes, I’ll let it be
If morning comes, I’ll let it be
Night done told enough to me

[Chorus]
These same old night blues hanging around
Yeah these same old night blues hanging around
They don’t make a sound, but they’re sound

[Outro]
When the sky turns pale and the room feels new
Yeah when the sky turns pale and the room feels new
These same old night blues walk me through
