Daltrey Roger Blues Man`s Road Lyrics

Blues Man`s Road Lyrics

The old boys drinkin' / Tellin' the stories

'Bout the way it used to be / A steel string box

Was every blues man's woman / Everybody knew Lucille

>From the Delta to the chain gang



I was born to the rhythm / Raised on volume

Wired to a different sound

Plain damn reckless until three in / The morning

Dreamin' of the place I'd found / Where the sugar tastes a little sweeter



Ain't nothing meaner / Than the old boy howlin' on his / Guitar alone



Tellin' the story 'bout the blues / Man's road

Well he taught me everything I know / We all knew that blues man's road

That's why they call this thing rock / And roll



We were white city slip kids playing in / The streets

The songs of the black man's band / With our tail drags dragging

Mojo's working / Got the blast from the big boss man

Where the sugar tastes a little sweeter



Ain't nothing meaner / Than an old boy howlin' on his / Guitar alone



Tellin' the story 'bout the blues / Man's road

He taught me everything that I've / Ever known

We all knew that blues man's road

That's why they call this damn thing / Rock and roll

The story 'bout the blues man's road / Taught me everything I know

Yes we all knew that blues man's road 

That's why they call this damn thing / Rock and roll
