Blues Don't Change

(album: Blues Don't Change - 2001)

Give me a guitar string and a piano man
And a soulful cry to help me do my thing
You see I've been around from town to town
And I know the blues don't change

You heard right and you heard wrong
But they said it all a long time ago
I've been playing the blues since 1954
And I know they don't change

Oh, Clever music and clever songs
You know they're here today and tomorrow they're gone
The blues just keep on hanging on and on
'Cause the blues don't change
I said they don't change

My home is where I lay my head at
Someday mama you know I'll be coming back
But right now he ah calling my name
But the blues don't change
No they don't change

One night stands, cigarette smoke
I've played from circuit clubs to riverboats
I've played them all you know
And I know, I know the blues don't change
The blues don't change
