Eddie's Blues

from below your knows by Luke Callen

/

lyrics

Eddie’s been drinking on a what you said
Last time he saw you in his bed
How there ain’t nothing for him in this world
Just a stack a money waiting to be burned

So he plays it stupid you play it kind
If you don’t look back you can’t see behind
He’s gonna get him something to ease his pain
It’s a different girl with a different name

It’s chances are they’re keeping the time
Cause they’re kicking him out paying him no mind
He’s gonna follow his legs to the end of this street
Don’t an aimless heart need aimless feet

It’s hello Sally’s hello Sue’s
Good bye sight he’s seeing in twos
Just count your tens your fives your pairs
Two kings in the crib with long black hair

And if they call you stranger he’ll call you his old friend
If you plan to stay here he’ll see you till the end
Cause this town ain’t for living it’s for every shade of blue
Give him your name one more time swear your someone he once knew

He says “I wish I was a lead on the old steamboat”
Doing my best keeping her a float
Reading the river having it read me
M-I-S-S-I-P-P

But here I am on dry land
Just a beat up boy I ain’t no man
So Delia Dehlia will come to me
I sure am lost but it ain’t at sea

And if they call you stranger he’ll call you his old friend
If you plan to stay here he’ll see you till the end
Cause this town ain’t for living it’s for every shade of blue
Give him your name one more time swear your someone he once knew
