Cleveland Flats Blues
The Cleveland flats, some dive-ass bar
Some white kids playing blues guitar
Bartenders high, the whiskey's bottom shelf
The bartender won't shut his face
This probably is not the place
To come when I feel sorry for myself
Been a bad couple decades
And my head shrinkers message is
It's time to take responsibility
And I explain why I'm impaired
She says save it for somebody who cares
Roll up your sleeves man
You might have one more chance
Maybe one more chance
My fifties were a whiskey blur
I had a couple jobs, I'm sure
There was a girl I lost along the way
She left me in a jazz cafe
In New Orleans on New Year's Day
The band was playing St. James Infirmary
My sixties, well I'm trying hard
I joined a band, was playing guitar
But there was way too much weed, whites and wine
So I came back to Cleveland town
The Cuyahoga's running brown
And everything is pretty much the same
My birthday's in October
And I hope to get there sober
My head shrinker thinks I mighthave a chance
I might have one more chance
The Cleveland flats, some dive ass bar
Some White kid's playing bluesguitar
Bartender's high, the whiskey bottom shelf
Some white kids playing blues guitar
Bartenders high, the whiskey's bottom shelf
The bartender won't shut his face
This probably is not the place
To come when I feel sorry for myself
Been a bad couple decades
And my head shrinkers message is
It's time to take responsibility
And I explain why I'm impaired
She says save it for somebody who cares
Roll up your sleeves man
You might have one more chance
Maybe one more chance
My fifties were a whiskey blur
I had a couple jobs, I'm sure
There was a girl I lost along the way
She left me in a jazz cafe
In New Orleans on New Year's Day
The band was playing St. James Infirmary
My sixties, well I'm trying hard
I joined a band, was playing guitar
But there was way too much weed, whites and wine
So I came back to Cleveland town
The Cuyahoga's running brown
And everything is pretty much the same
My birthday's in October
And I hope to get there sober
My head shrinker thinks I mighthave a chance
I might have one more chance
The Cleveland flats, some dive ass bar
Some White kid's playing bluesguitar
Bartender's high, the whiskey bottom shelf
