a beautiful thing

http://www.twistedrootstudios.com
The  blues live inside us all
There are always times when we know our soul to crawl
When before it danced across the floor in united sway
Life can get hard, it 'a always gonna be dat way

You make it through the times so choppy and rough
And once more you see you are tough enough
to handle this thing called life that we are all tossed within
Sometimes you gonna lose, sometimes you gonna win

Just like Buddy always say....."when ya sing the blues.. ya lose 'em
and ain't that a beautiful thing"
When you wake up from the nightmare of life lost.... snoozin'
You can access and become your own Spring

So, if you say you don't like the blues.. you be mistaken
Rock and Roll knows them as their Mother
If you've ever been dismayed by the road you have taken
You already lived the blues as you dealt with life or lost lovers

So, thank the blues for showing up... laying down a great guitar lick
The soundtrack to your life of complex and deep, dark days
Cause without the blues guitar, played bare or with slide or pick
Jimi never would have shared his Purple Haze

"The blues had a baby and they named it Rock and Roll" said Muddy
Next time you feel you are rocked to the depths of your soul
Play yourself the blues...you know I suggest a Guy named Buddy 
Thank the blues masters.... they da ones done paid the true soul toll
