Tennessee Blues

'Been walking my music...by music row
Over and over...sweet yes turns out NO
Searching for something....they just can't refuse
Me and these Tennessee Blues

At this pace I'm going...I won't last long
'Can't love my lady...Can't write the right song
Midnight in Nashville...what can I do
With these damn Tennessee Blues

'Can't start life over...I'm in too deep
'Sipping on something to help me to sleep
Blaming my guitar.....paying my dues
To these low down Tennessee Blues

Finally a phone call, to the Lone Star state
'Said, I'm headed for Texas, she says she can't wait
What will I find there...Well she gave me some clues
'Sure won't bee these Tennessee Blues!

Robert Lindley Date: 8/7/2018 9:50:00 AM Fantastic lyrics my very talented friend. This one put to music would be awesome methinks.... Login to Reply Chuck Melugin Date: 8/8/2018 5:06:00 PM Thanks so much Robert! I've lived it and cried it, loved it and died it! Made it and lost it, caught it and tossed it........and it still seems to linger with my guitar and calloused fingers!

Susan Ashley Date: 7/20/2018 10:40:00 AM Oh I love this Chuck! The rhythm of your lyric is smooth as silk as you sing the blues of paying your dues, which sets up perfectly the impact of your last two lines.. after the lonely rejections, home and happiness is where the heart is in the Lone Star state..
