Blues Lover

Somewhere in this big city a fine young lady's getting dressed She's going down to the blues club to hear the sounds that she loves best Modern music just don't move her Rap and country 'n' all the rest She's going out all alone to check out a new blues band Her girlfriends won't go with her, no they just don't understand That's too bad, but she don't need them And she ain't lookin' for a man To her nothing sounds so good as a ringing slide guitar She loves it slow and deep, and she feels it in her heart She says "hush, I'm trying to listen" When men hit on her at the bar A lady so fine and soulful can still be blue that's for sure She might make lots of money, but a troubled heart can make her poor And if blues is her sadness Then blues music is her cure --- Blues Lover - Bob Margolin
