THE BLUES PROGRESSION

c.2019 Rippertones Music

Back porch country
Passed from old to young
Ridin’ the blinds always
On the run
Good-times up north I heard’em
Call’n my name
No mo dusty delta roads
No mo big boss man
One ten power and the
Big town aggression
It's a 12 bar story
Thats the blues progression

Walk down the crossroads
Wait for midnight ta come
Gimme that guitar n I’ll
tune it fo ya son
Thunder n lightnin’ from my
fingers now
Drink a river a whiskey
N can’t no one show me how
jump from boy ta man
But I trade my souls possession
ya know the devils work is in that
Blues progression

But I can't put the damn thing down
I spend my whole damn life
drifting town to town
I can't put the damn thing down
This ol’ sad song
Got me playin’ all night long

Hear me baby, callin you
Hear me baby, I’m your blues

I'm getting old
soon I'll sit n sing
I don't care
I lived the life of a king
Soon ol Nic he gonna
claim my soul
So I’ll burn it down till that
Death bell toll
Ya see, I was born with this here
One obsession
it's a hard way to go this ol’
Blues progression
