Lyrics

Bluesed Me Away

The sign of the front door said tavern,
It should have said bar,
Flashin` neon light said ?Live Music,?
Should?ve said star
She sat in the corner, playin` a piano on the floor
A blue eyed vamp wearin` cowboy boots
And smoking a big cigar
Tickled the ivories and my heart, I knew I had to stay
Then when she started singing,
Lord she bluesed me away,
Melt in your mouth like a sweet jelly roll

I?d been there three nights in a row,
Maybe it was seven,
The way she wollered that stool
Look like an invitation to heaven
She knocked me out, I?m here to testify
Like a big George Foreman left hook
Hit me right between the eyes,
I feel down on my knees,
Like I was gonna pray,
And when she started singing, Lord,
It bluesed me away
Warm you up,
Like your grand mama?s robe

I sent her over a shot,
She had the house bring me one too,
With a note that says ?Is it hot in here, or honey is it just you??
We swapped glances through the smoke till she took her break,
Then she drug up a chair, hypnotized me like a snake,
She said ?Let?s step out in the alley, before I have to play?
When she laid that first kiss on me, Lord,
She blues me away,
Turn you on like an electric switch!

She can kill that holy-roller,
Ray Charles and Jerry Lee,
But my favorite is when I?m fryin bacon,
She in the shower serenading me
If there?s something better than a dream,
This must be it,
I?m telling this woman gives me the
?Heebie-Jeebie Fits?
Got something good, getting better everyday
When she starts singing, whoa,
She blues me away
I?m here to stay, till the birds all sing bass
