Midnight Blues

Time and space left me when I downed the two 40 proof bottles Time and space left me when I downed the two 40 proof bottles But tonight I'm sober, just buried in my sorrows I'm a man with no sleep, with demons grabbing at my soul I'm a man with no sleep, with demons grabbing at my soul Would you know it's about a girl, a woman with a heart so cold I pace my weary legs around the house, listening to the blues I pace my weary legs around the house, listening to the blues My eyes are far from dry, and my body trembles without a clue There's a monster inside of me, and he wants to scream There's a monster inside of me, and he wants to scream So I pick up my guitar, and I sing out what I mean I've got the gosh-darn Midnight Blues And I'm so terribly sad and lonely I wish I could get my lover back She is surely my one and only The night creeps darker shade by shade, 'just want the pain to go away The night creeps darker shade by shade, 'just want the pain to go away I have the Midnight Blues, there's nothing more to say May 19, 2023 Inspired by Joe Bonamassa's Midnight Blues
