Nothing To Do With the Blues

Ever since I was nine, I been taking my time leaning into rhythms and making 'em mine
I don't need a critic to know what it's like: acting authentic is a waste of time
Nineteen I was out on the scene, Dallas to the West Coast and back to D.C.
"Get a job," Daddy said; Momma said find a good woman
That's the only reasons for the trouble I'm in

You better believe me, first it's got to please me, from the top of my head to my shoes
No matter what I do, it ain't got nothing to do with the Blues
Ain't got nothing to do with the Blues... The Blues is the thing I've been trying to lose

East Coast, West Coast, down into the Gulf Shores. Up until the morning light, working it out
Uptown, downtown, everywhere around; ten thousand mornings without a doubt
Looking for music everywhere anywhere, down country roads on a midnight prayer
The only consistent from beginning to end: Music's been with me like it's my best-friend

Better believe me, first it's got to please me from the top of my head to my shoes
No matter what I do, it ain't got nothing to do with the Blues
Ain't got nothing to do with the Blues... The Blues is the thing I've been trying to lose
Ain't got nothing to do with the Blues... The Blues is the thing I've been trying to lose
