Heavy State Loving Blues

I spent money like I was a millionaire
I loved women like it was the last affair
I drove a fast car like it was on the race track
I stole things so I could give the, right back


I got those too fast too much heavy state loving blues

I stopped a freight train as it was heading south
I could hook a catfish right in its mouth
I could stop a twister man that’s really out of sight
I could stay up straight for 42 nights


I got those too fast, too much heavy state loving blues


I could eat a chilli pepper without taking a drink
I could make a philosopher sit down and think
It would take a river to cool my raging thirst
I could fight a lion and he would come out worst


I got those too fast, too much heavy state loving blues


Blind Leading The Blind

Now listen, look here baby
I’ll; keep doing what I did just before
If you tell me what I’m doing
I ain’t gonna be doing no more
Staying out every evening
And coming home just before 8
You say I got me another woman
Sure enough tempting fate

You tell me I don’t mind
But it seems to me like the Blind Are Leading The Blind

If I come home an hour early
Then sometimes you just aint home
I can stay up till the morning
And I’ll know that I’ll be alone
I ask you, you don’t answer
You can’t even look me in the eye
But theres one thing I can be sure of
A guilty man don’t lie

You tell me I don’t mind
But it seems to me like the Blind are leading the Blind


Devil’s Chain

Mississippi Delta in the dead of night
Trying to catch the next train
Guitar player and harmonica joe
Move from Memphis to Maine

Every dollar you earn is a link in the Devil’s Chain

Bigshot city in the heat of day
10-5 through to 9
Subway train clean out of sight
Broken down Cadillac assembly line

Every dollar you earn is a link in the Devil’s Chain

You better keep on walking on by
Don’t you turn your head
Say something to the other man
Theres nothing you could have said

Every dollar you earn is a link in the Devil’s Chain
