So Much for the Blues By Larry Chadwick If I drove a pickup truck And strummed an old guitar, If I smoked rolled cigarettes And drank whiskey by the jar, If my boots had been under many beds And I had broken many hearts, Then I could sing the blues In ways that would tear you a part. But I gave my truck to dad And sold my classic guitar, I never smoked a cigarette And only drank water from a jar. I’ve only owned one pair of boots And I know exactly where they are. Besides for my version of the blues They’d throw me out of any bar. So I’ll make my confession With no need for the blues. I’ve loved you without interruption No need for I want-my-baby-back blues. April 28, 2002 It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo! |
