Cold Lonely Nights - Lonnie Brooks Tribute
Hearts bleed heavy on a Cold Lonely Night
hurtin' since you walked on out that door
Whiskey jars tumble and I hear a little murmur
as some mighty Bayou Lightning Strikes tonight
Whether You're Using Me or just Wound Up Tight
It's gonna be okay baby you'll be alright
A little down and a little dirty pepper mixed in
you'll shake what ails you and be grooving soon
Back out in our sweet Sweet Home Chicago
Even In The Dark we are livin' in your blues
**A tribute to the late great Lonnie Brooks
who passed Saturday at the age of 83
