World of the Blues

[JRL]

This is my attempt at doing something I consider hard, writing a blues song, trying to stay in the idiom without too many cheesy blues cliches. I stuck a little Mose Allison style irony at the end.  I hope it will be acceptable to all the blues society folks like Solaced.

(Slow blues like Buddy Guy)


                World of the Blues


Sun didn't shine this morning, so I'm walking these blues away (2x)
Sun didn't shine this morning, but I know it sure can't shine every day

I went to see my doctor, cause I didn't know what to do (2x)
But he examined my wallet and my check book, said, man there is nothing more we can do for you

I haven't seen such trouble, since 19 and 82 (2x)
But you know trouble is gonna find you, when you're living in the world of the blues

Everytime I take 2 steps forward, I end up taking 3 steps in reverse (2x)
But I  know someday things are gonna better, if they don't just keep on getting worse

could walk along a long lonesome river
each step takin me further downstream
singin these blues.

  ----  Reminds me of the last time I was visiting friends in Illinois...   I hit town with 2 keys of Salvia and 10 grams of 5-MEO-Dipt....  Was listening to the Buddy Guy album "Damn Right I Got The Blues"...   The Sally -n- Foxy were in full splendor, my eyes closed, when, for the first time in decades, I recieved the gift of some closed eye visuals :shock:   -----   Yep, the blues are truly wher it's at for senor, and  locking into the moment can produce some profound 'alteration'   ----------------  'course. be advised that this is not to condone such activities where proscribed by blue meanies :wink: ------------- senorsal
