"Red,White and Blues" (B.B.)
From "You Were Right"(2013)
Intro: E D A X6
E D A
I don't know what's gotten into me
E D A
and I don't know what's possessed my mind
E D A
but I'm in need of some therapy,
E D A
just give me something to help me unwind
B D
Doc says I got to lay off the booze,
G A E D A
His diagnosis the Red, White and Blues
E D A
Red White and Blues
| E D A |
Line 'em up in a single file,
Lay em down in neat little rows
I don't really care, whatever style,
wrap 'em up with little pink bows
Ever since I could tie my own shoes,
I've learned to live with the Red, White and Blues...
Red White and Blues...
Baby, maybe I should meditate,
See if I can collect my thoughts
focus in try to concentrate,
or just get out and try to walk it off
'Cos every good thing I use and abuse
I got to suffer the red white and blues!
*Bluesy Riff*
I don't wanna hear the evidence,
I don't care what the judge has to say
All it takes is some common sense,
If you're gonna make a clean getaway
I nearly died when I heard the news
A life sentence of the red white and blues
But I've been tried,and here I stand accused
My only crime the red white and blues...
Red white and blues...
