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.
