lyrics

The Day I Found Blues

The day i found blues, i found it deep in my blood
It burst through the gates, and covered me like a flood
Now the respect is there, take me under your wing
Cos I don't believe in God, but i sure pray to three kings

Cos I am what I am, trying to be what I can

I chopped and I changed, trying to please who I can
But my only mistake was sucking up to the man
Without no intent, I just opened my heart
Put my fingers on the strings and here's what came out

Cos I am what I am, trying to be what I can

Got a weight off my mind, got some love in my life
Bending over for the fame, now that just ain't my style
Singin straight from the soul, shredding my fingers to the bone
Centre stage with my guitar, thats the place that I call home

Cos I am what I am, trying to be what I can
