Put on a record and close my eyes
Be in your presence, go back in time
Listen to your music, hear your voice
Be right beside you, given the choice
To know what you knew, go where you went
To see what you saw and to know what it meant
The lord he was ready, was your turn to move
You nearly made it - he took you too soon
Son took his suitcase and went the same way
A lifetime of preaching and blues he would play
Frozen in time in the words of a song
Judgement Day came and now he is gone
Deathly Blue
Deathly Blue
You play your music - I'll learn from your hand
To know how you lived - then we'd all understand
Just to thank you and play you my song
To teach you the words and have you sing along
You tell me your stories - I'll listen and learn
Your spirit released me - and now it's my turn
I know who you were - walked a mile in your shoes
A life dedicated to playing the blues
You tell me your stories
I'll listen and learn
Your spirit released me
And now it's my turn
I know who you were
Walked a mile in your shoes
A life dedicated to playing the blues
You tell me your stories
Your spirit released me
Walked a mile in your shoes
It's your path that I choose
A life dedicated to playing the blues
