Lyrics

Say you want the blues?
You got two timinÂ? motives
your pants are on fire.
If it were legal to do
then I would musically sue.
(Just for you)
Gonna get you talkinÂ? about it
from Oregon to Maine.
So instead of looking at me,
start looking at you.
IÂ?ve got the blues!

* Blues rockinÂ? no stoppinÂ?;
I got some styling to do.
IÂ?m saying blues playing.
Hey, ainÂ?t you got somethinÂ? better to do?

If you donÂ?t try the man,
then you donÂ?t get the money.
And I donÂ?t specialize in some wannabe brew.
The best IÂ?ll suggest is you relax it, honey.
Â?Cause IÂ?m an axe-slinginÂ? dude
and what I play is the blues.
I got the blues!

* Blues rockinÂ? no stoppinÂ?;
I got some styling to do.
IÂ?m saying blues playing.
Hey ainÂ?t you got somethinÂ? better to do?
* Blues rockinÂ? no stoppinÂ?;
I got some styling to do.
IÂ?m saying blues playing.
Hey, ainÂ?t you got somethinÂ? better to do?
