Lyrics by Mark Cameron (all rights reserved)
Borrowed time
You got yourself a new man
They’re the very best kind
You drive on into a dark night
You don’t know what you’ll find
You left him there, under the street light
Hoping he’d find a new life, a new life
Every time a lover follows you home
You just can’t get him out of your life (repeat)
What’s the harm? When two friends get together
And share a glass of wine
Pretty soon they’re making glances at each other.
That’s when you know you’re on borrowed time.
Hammered by the Blues
I packed my bags this morning, looks like I’ll be on my way
I packed my bags this morning, trying to find some work today
I heard they got work in texas, swingin a hammer for good pay
I met this girl down south, she was singin in a juke joint dive
I met this girl down south, she was singin in a juke joint dive
Her man found out, and dropped the hammer
We was lucky to get outta there alive
Inst (Harp)
She was gonna split to
I knew she would’nt get far
My heart starts to hammer
I said here, take my car
Can I stay with you honey, I just can’t be all alone
If no is the answer, that’s alright but I’ll be needing a ride home.
I been hammered by the blues,they’re pounding on me day and night.
I been hammered by the blues,they’re pounding on me day and night.
They’re trying to break me down, so I wont fight.
Bluesman’s Lullaby
Listen
You can choose, you have a voice
when you’re the one that plays
You don’t have a choice
You’ll play anywhere anytime
Every chance you have
Hours, days, years
don’t know where it began
When the joint is closed for the evening, and they turn down all the lights
I hear the echoes of all the nights before, as the crowd fades out of sight
Bluesman’s Lullaby
Listen, remember
all the greats from the past
You live for the good times
You want them to last
Doesn’t matter who you are, or what you’ve done
we’re all the same
On the road to another town
You drive all night and sleep all day
You give it everything, everything you have, isn’t that what the blues is all about
You might slow down, but Bluesmen don’t retire, so there’s only one way out.
Bluesmans Lullaby
