Deep Water Blues.

Verse 1

In the middle of the night, and I’m thinking about you.

It’s the middle of the night, and I’m thinking about you.

My heart is bleeding woman, tell me what I’m going to do.

Verse 2.

I know how it feels, when a woman’s been unkind.

I said I know how it feels, when a woman’s been unkind.

But it really doesn’t matter, cause it happens all the time.

(Guitar Solo 1)

Verse 3.

Got a fire in my heart, and it’s burning just for you.

I got a fire in my heart baby, and it’s burning just for you.

And it hurts so bad woman, just like these deep water blues.

(Guitar Solo 2)

Verse 3.

Do you know how it feels, when your woman treats you bad.

I said, do you know how it feels, when your woman treats you bad.

You know what, it really doesn’t matter,

Cause you’re the best she’s ever had.

Verse 4.

Got a fire in my heart, and it’s burning just for you.

I got a fire in my heart baby, and it’s burning just for you.

And it hurts so bad woman, just like these deep water blues.

Outro.

Deep Water Blues,

I’ve got those Deep Water Blues,

And it hurts so bad woman, just like these deep water blues.

I Wanna Make Love To Ya Baby

Verse 1

Hold on baby, here comes the night.

Gonna make love to ya woman,

On the other side of midnight.

Never let it be said,

I didn’t love and treat you right.

Verse 2.

You came on to me baby,

Right from the get go.

Now listen up honey,

Cause there’s something you ought to know.

You treat me wrong……and,

I’m gonna walk right out that door.

And that’s for sure.

(Guitar Solo 1)

Verse 3.

Listen up woman,

that’s trouble knockin’ at your back door.

Don’t tell me baby,

Love don’t live here anymore.

Cause when I take you in my arm’s

I’m gonna love ya,

Like I’ve never loved before.

Chorus.

I wanna make love to ya baby.

I’m gonna take ya in my arms,

And love ya…like you’ve never been loved before.

(Guitar Solo 2 )

Chorus.

I wanna make love to ya baby.

I wanna make love to ya woman.

I wanna make love to ya baby.

I’m gonna take ya in my arms,

And love ya…like you’ve never been loved before.

That’s Why It’s Called The Blues.

Verse 1.

Blame it on bad luck,

Blame it on shame.

Some say it's the hoodoo man,

It's all the same.

Cause when lightening strikes,

Ain't nothing you can do.

Just take it as it comes,

That's why it's called the blues.

Verse 2.

Sitting on the back porch,

Got Robert Johnson on the cans,

I got a fire in my soul,

I got my guitar in my hands.

Just about midnight,

And I'm, kickin' of them shoes.

Play it from the heart,

That's why it's called the blues.

Verse 3.

I heard a black dog howl.

I heard his Momma too.

My Daddy always told me,

Son, ya gotta pay your dues.

Cause if you gamble with the devil,

Ya know you going to lose.

Play it from your heart,

That's why it's called the blues.

(Guitar solo)

If you hear a black dog howl,

Best to leave well enough alone.

Just listen to your Daddy,

Don't give that dog a bone,

Day begins at midnight,

Ya gotta listen to your muse,

Yeah thats right,

Just, play it from the heart.

That's why it's called the blues.

A Man Without The Blues Is A Man Without Soul

Verse 1

Take a man, from the fields,

Put him in the city,

See how he feels.

It don't feel right, it don't feel wrong,

But, this ain't the place,

where he belongs.

Verse 2.

Take away his soul, and his right to choose ,

Take away his dignity,

And he'll cry the blues.

Cause the blues is a feeling,deep down inside,

Take it all away,

And you kill the pride.

Chorus.

Cause, A man without the blues,

Is a man, without soul.

Yes, A man without the blues,

Is a man without soul.

(Guitar solo 1)

Bridge.

How would it feel if your heart had to choose,

Between knowing whats right, and about what you might lose.

Don't criticize the man till' you've walked in his shoes,

Cause you never know if you'll win or you'll lose

(Repeat Chorus)

Scat Verse.

Listen to the man, singing on the street,

Look at all the people, moving to the beat.

They got the feeling, but they don't know,

That, they got the blues, deep within their souls.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Guitar solo 2)

(Mid 8 / Half Chorus) (Chorus 4) (Chorus 5 and finish)

Livin’ On The Line

Verse 1.

I go down to the river,

And I watch it flow,

Catch a full moon rising,

See how it glows.

I listen to the breeze,

Tellin' me it's tales,

Talkin' bout the good times,

Riding on the rails.

Bridge 1.

Another place, and another time,

Searching for something,

To ease my mind.

Saying goodbye, to days of old,

Looking for a way,

To cleanse my soul.

Chorus.

Livin' on the line,

See the danger sign,

Livin' on the line,

Can I do the time.

Verse 2

Can you feel the wind,

When the storm blows

Feel the hard rain driving,

Cut's ya to the bone.

Lookin' for shelter,

When you're all alone,

Nothin' left to do, but

Bitch and moan.

Bridge 2.

A change of pace, an uphill climb,

A little bit of faith,

Can be so kind.

Time's a healer, so I've been told,

Lookin' for a way,

To take control,

(Chorus 2)

(4 bar break)

(Guitar solo)

(Repeat Bridge 1)

(Chorus 3 and finish)

Dangerous Times

Verse 1

Looking back through the years

Bad news all around.

Faces lined by a thousand fears,

Lost dreams, never found.

Verse 2

Standing up for what you feel is right,

Before you reach the darker side.

Something moves in the dead of the night.

Trying to cross that great divide

Chorus.

Try to hold on to what you've got,

These are dangerous times.

Never let it go, cause believe it or not,

These are dangerous times.

Verse 3

Living in, these restless times,

Not knowing who to trust,

Victims of these senseless crimes,

Eye's filled with disgust.

Verse 4

We've got to learn to live again,

Without fear in our hearts,

Reach out your hand and touch someone,

Bring him in from the dark.

(Repeat chorus)

(Intro theme again)

(Repeat chorus and finish)

Hip Grinding Blues.

Verse 1

I’m just a poor man, I live a simple life.

I take it one day at the time.

Get down on my knees; fore I turn out the light,

And say, Lord….give me a little more time.

Out on the open road, cool wind in my hair,

I get a feeling in my body, I don’t get anywhere.

Looking for answers, but I ain’t got no clues,

So, hold on to me baby we’re gonna do some,

Chorus.

Hip Grinding Blues.

Hip Grinding Blues baby.

Verse 2.

I’m a blues lovin’ man, and she’s recklessly wild,

Out on the highway, she’s a wild eyed child.

Feel that motor running, kickin’ up some dust,

Livin’ for the freedom, ah…..can’t ya feel the lust.

Hold on tight, never let go,

Wind in your hair….out on the open road.

Feel the power, nothing left to lose,

Sit on my saddle baby, let’s do those…..

Chorus.

Hip Grinding Blues.

Hip Grinding Blues baby.

Verse 3.

Can you feel the fire, burning down below?

Kickin’ in your gut, never let it go

Riding through the night, wheels are running hot,

Come on baby, show me what you got.

Hanging loose and knockin’ back the Jack,

Rip it up Mama, ain’t no turning back.

I got the mojo, consider fore you choose,

Listen to me baby, come on, let’s do those,

Let It Go

Verse 1

Sitting here in the darkness,

And the rain begins to fall,

Remembering the good times,

Almost had it all.

How can I understand,

These feelings deep inside,

Looking for a reason,

For the pain That I Can't hide.

Bridge.

Holding on to, yesterday,

It's just a fools game.

Trying to keep those, blues away,

Can't wait another day,

Listen whay I say,

Chorus

Gotta let it go,

gotta let it go.

Verse 2.

Looking out of my window,

I see shadows on the wall,

Looking for an answer,

And trying to heed the call.

Living in a dream,

Couldn't read between the lines,

Standing on the outside,

I should have seen the signs.

(Repeat Bridge and Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

(Repeat Bridge and Chorus and finish)

Wasted Years.

Verse 1

I've been sitting here alone,

Thinking about the things I've done.

I've been sitting here alone,

Just thinking about the things I've done.

And it makes me wonder why,

I feel my life has just begun.

Verse 2.

I spent those troubled years,

Trying to keep the blues away.

I spent those troubled years,

Just trying to keep those blues away.

Now I get down on my knees,

And thank the Lord for every day.

(Guitar solo 1)

Verse 3.

Wasted years, wasted years,

I've got you on the run.

Wasted years, wasted years,

I've got you on the run.

Everybody better know,

Ain't nobody going to spoil my fun.

Meloneras Blues.

Verse 1

The sun sits low, out on the horizon.

The sound of the gulls, as the water splashes on the shore.

Sitting here alone, I can hear the evening call.

Down on the boulevard, ready for the night.

Bridge 1.

Some people say, you’ve gotta pay your dues,

I just call it those,

Chorus.

Meloneras Blues, Meloneras Blues.

Verse 2.

Out in the distance, you can see the ships go by.

Looking for the light, to guide them on their way,

The air feels warm, no way it’s going to rain tonight.

I can see the lighthouse, as the music starts to call.

Bridge 1.

Sometimes you win, sometime you lose

I just call it those,

Chorus.

Meloneras Blues, Meloneras Blues.

(Guitar Solo 1)

Verse 3.

Down in the hole, you can see some people there,

Listening to the music, and having a real good time.

Come the weekend, and you have to leave this paradise,

Go back home, hey….see ya sometime soon.

Bridge 1.

Some people say, you’ve gotta pay your dues,

I just call it those,

Chorus.

Meloneras Blues, Meloneras Blues.
