Addicted To The Blues

Addicted
©2009 Phil Gates

I’m Addicted
And I always need a lot
I’m itchin
My hands are in knots

I’m just fiending
To play the Blues
It gets me higher
Than a whole fifth of booze

I’m strung out on playin for you
It’s all I ever wanted to do
I’m Addicted to the Blues

Well I’m always Jonesin’
To play you a tune
And when I’m moanin’
Huh you can’t cook that in a spoon

When I’m tappin’ out
A melody line
I’m still mappin’
The corners of my mind.

I’m strung out on playin for you
It’s all I ever wanted to do
I’m Addicted to the Blues

I’m wired
To play my guitar
I’m not accepting
Of the way things are

I’m strung out on playin for you
It’s all I ever wanted to do
I’m Addicted to the Blues
