The Blues Has a Bad Name
Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry

{c: Verse}
No ones hoppin’ frieght trains no more
Running from hell hounds on the trail
No shotgun shack shakin’ Nobody down black cat bone breakin’
All the rounders are stayin’ home
The Blues ain’t nothin but bad luck
A broke down’s all I have luck and a good man feeling down
I’m too poor to pay attention to pop songs and easy listening
Been this way for oh so long!

{c: Bridge}
[Out in the storm smokin’ to stay warm
Streets echo [D]down with a[E] club sound
Got a band up on the stage
Y’all come on in out the[E] rain

{c: Chorus}
If you play it like a game the Blues Has A Bad Name

You boys are playin it way too loud
Rhythm without the Blues again

I’ll tell y’all it’s a shame the Blues Has A Bad Name

{c: Verse}
No one’s getting shot in Memphis
By a jealous man with a nickel plated .44, drunk on that ripple wine
No downtown rounders shootin’ dice watching the shift of each other’s eyes
Pull Tab’s the only game in town

No zoot suit pimp bitch slap rappin’
Walking the streets with his watch chain tappin’
Now you just tap a picture on your phone

I got my reasons I’m fuckin’ round
Instead of layin flat on rock bottom ground
Lord knows that I’m a Blues Man!

You can’t have the Blues without the pain
That high lonesome sound ain’t the same

{c: Chorus}
If you play it like a game the Blues Has A Bad Name

You boys are playin it way too fast
Rhythm without the Blues again

I’ll tell y’all it’s a shame the Blues Has A Bad Name
