about

A slightly different 1980s live take on one of my least original songs: a rehydrated blues that owes something to 1960s folk baroque. But I like its energy.

lyrics

There's no future in singing the blues
I guess I'll leave, I've got nothing to lose

Wearing out my shoes, walking away from you
And if I can't walk, I guess I'll fly - bye-bye...

I went down to the depot, looked up on the board
It said "good times here, but better down the road"

Wearing out my shoes, walking away from you
And if I can't walk, I guess I'll fly - bye-bye...

I'm going down to the crossroads, my cap in my hand
Looking for a woman that's looking for a man

And wearing out my shoes, walking away from you
And if I can't walk, I guess I'll fly - bye-bye...
