Story Behind The Song

I was messing around on my guitar one day and heard somne say on the TV, in the background, "I don't need nobody else; I do fine all by myself". That struck me as a real nice hook and decided to do it as a Blues number. This is what we came up with.

Song Description

Chicago Blues song about a man who just lives and lets live. What other folks do is just fine with him. He generally stays to himself and enjoys life alone...doesn't neede or want the hassles other folks bring with them. Lots of slide guitar and blues harp.

Lyrics

Just Me And Myself

(v1)
Guess you could say I'm a loner
Oh but that suits me just fine
Some folks say I should mingle
But I don't pay them no never mind
I mind my own business
Try to keep myself in line

(v2)
I like my independence
No rules except my own
Ain't no one I owe an answer
No time I need to be back home
I'm short on conversation
I don't even have no phone

CHORUS
I love them pretty ladies
But I don't want one all the time
Friends sometimes dessert you
When you're in a real tight bind
Don't need nobody else
Just me and my self

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

(v3)
Guess some people might be okay
If they don't get too close
But when they're headed the other way
That's when I like then the most
And people are all the same
From East to West Coast

(v4)
Don't slave myself to no one
And nobody owns my soul
The bestest friends I ever had
Was a line and a fishing pole
Minding my own business
That's just the way I go
