Immortalized In Music
A guitar man you were born to be
riding the waves of nature's melody
Your first guitar you called your first wife
You started at 13
and you had it in you to be an example
for others to follow in your footsteps
in the bluesy sort of way
Later there was demons you fought
with whiskey and cocaine
but you had a light within you
Shining for all to see and feel
but it finally shined when you recovered from it all
then you didn't make it to 40
Because a fatal crash took you away....
devastating all who knew you so well
Your hometown cried but your spirit lives on
in the Texas blues you gave us
Thanks for all the love you passed our way
I wish we had more contemporary blues today
Rest in peace, Stevie Ray.
