Nothing To Do With the Blues Lyrics

Ever since I was nine, I been taking my time leaning into rhythms and making 'em mine

I don't need a critic to know what it's like: acting authentic is a waste of time

Nineteen I was out on the scene, Dallas to the West Coast and back to D.C.

"Get a job," Daddy said; Momma said find a good woman

That's the only reasons for the trouble I'm in

You better believe me, first it's got to please me, from the top of my head to my shoes

No matter what I do, it ain't got nothing to do with the Blues

Ain't got nothing to do with the Blues…The Blues is the thing I've been trying to lose

East Coast, West Coast, down into the Gulf Shores. Up until the morning light, working it out

Uptown, downtown, everywhere around; ten thousand mornings without a doubt

Looking for music everywhere anywhere, down country roads on a midnight prayer

The only consistent from beginning to end: Music's been with me like it's my best-friend

Better believe me, first it's got to please me from the top of my head to my shoes

No matter what I do, it ain't got nothing to do with the Blues

Ain't got nothing to do with the Blues… The Blues is the thing I've been trying to lose

Ain't got nothing to do with the Blues… The Blues is the thing I've been trying to lose
