Blues Survivor

True Blues survivor

I'm a true Blues survivor, I'm proud I am
I tried a little bit of this and a little bit of that
Searching for something that would be right for me
Tryin' to find some place where I belong at
I tried a little rock, I tried a little roll
I tried a little top pop hit, and I tried a little soul

Hey, hey, you don't know what it's like
Fightin' the powers all of my life
I've got my own way of walkin'
My own way of talkin'
I'll do what I want, and I'll do what I like
Yeah, yeah

Sixteen years old, I'm fresh outta school
Tryin' to figure out what I wanna do
I couldn't find no work and I couldn't stay at home
The only thing to do was to sing the blues
I practice every day, go travellin' every night
Tryin' not to get it wrong, I'm still tryin' to get it right

Hey, hey, you don't know what I've done
All my life I've been under the gun
I wanna do my own drivin', I'm true blues survivin'
And that's what's keepin' me strong, strong, strong
Yeah, yeah

(I'm a true Blues survivor)
I've been left in distress up sky-high
(I'm a true Blues survivor)
I've been busted and mistrusted, left by myself
(I'm a true Blues survivor)
I've been up, I've been down, left all around
(I'm a true Blues survivor)
I been busted, mistrusted, I been up, I been down
Locked in, left out, kept me hangin' around

(I'm a true Blues survivor)
(I'm a true Blues survivor)
(I'm a true Blues survivor)
(I'm a true Blues survivor)
