Bound By The Blues - Sonny Landreth

You and I have

Felt before

The tide of trouble

Upon the door

Though we be

From different

Shores

We're bound by

The blues

Lightnin' falls

From the sky

Muddy waters

On the rise

In songs

That get us

Through the times

Bound by the blues

Sisters and brothers

Of every color

Bound to one another

Bound by the blues

Flat blade

Across the strings

Cone cries

The reso rings

The metal body

Lady sings

Bound by the blues

She's an easy rider

On the back

Freight train

Down the track

Tales worth

Tellin' that

Are bound by

The blues

Sisters and brothers

Of every color

Bound to one another

Bound by the blues

Voodoo chile

And a white strat

Baton rouge's

A bummer that

Noel said

No lookin' back

Bound by the blues

On the res

Where she began

Sainte marie

Took a stand

With songs she wrote

For every man

Bound by the blues

From a scale

Off the chart

Every note

For a broken heart

Each and every

Piece apart

Bound by the blues

Sisters and brothers

Of every color

Bound to one another

Sisters and brothers

Of every color

Bound to one another

Bound by the blues
