Song Description

My daddy said if you wann make it , if you wanna get somewhere, don't mess with the blues

Lyrics

Sit down listen here young man, before you play that old guitar
You say you want fortune and fame, claim you're gonna be a star
There's something you oughta know before you pick up that six
string box
I been playing 20 years boy, aint made me 10 bucks
My daddy always said that if you want to make it if you wanna get somewhere,
Don't mess with blues boy,don't mess with the blues

CHORUS
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Don't mess with the blues boy, they'll build you up to burn you down
Looking 20 years down the road nobody's gonna be around,

So I moved to L.A. where they shoot you for wearing the wrong
clothes
Mean part of town, in a place where noone with any sense goes
The man behind the bar, behind a loaded .32 said,"Get outta
my place boy, you can't sing the blues

CHORUS

Well I was playin' guitar , couldn't get me a job in no band
They all said play like Eddy, you know they didn't understand
Play like Eddy, hell Eddy can't play the blues
And you aint playing guitar, in my book, if you can't play the blues
