lyrics

Baby Blues
august 2010

Good evening, baby blues
Down in the dumps tonight, weren’t you?
Visions and futures dance in your head
Baby blues, have you heard what I’ve said?

Clouds were forming as you slept
Every dream in your slumbering head
Hoping to hold out, missing your chance
A fitful night for the hours you’ve wept

Don’t spend the rest of your life in this town
Some people can, they are supposed to
Some of them aren’t like me and you
We’re supposed to get out, baby blues

15 years has seen us confused
Keeping up with time and keeping up on you
All things change through truth or dare
Couldn’t wait to get gone, now I’m scared

You will get out and see the world anew
You will change the world and it will change you
This little town ain’t got a thing for you
It’s time to get out, baby blues

It’s one in a million, when you go
Goodbye stings, but the rest won’t hurt
It’s all gonna work out, whatever you do
It’s all gonna work so take it easy on you…
please take care of you…

You will get out and see the world anew
You will change the world and it will change you
This little town ain’t got a thing for you
Don’t forget what I say, baby blues

Wherever you go I’ll be with you
Don’t forget what I say, baby blues
Remember that I always love you

*for Miranda*

Guitar player, balladeer, and self-reflective life-mender all rolled up in a lanky package of boyish charm. ...an interesting evolution...combine dirty blues, roots-rock, thumb-style "Travis picking", surf, dixieland and western swing… throw in some heavy life experience and meaningful lyrical content… what’s for dinner is a rich stew of the last 100+ years of American musical heritage... ... more
