I got the blues today
so glad someone sent them my way
there they was
sitting in a vase filled with water
on my night stand
for me to see
when I started my day
went to bed last night
with nothing planned on today's agenda
no special tasks for me to do
and there they was on my night stand
various shades of blues
with a card to me
written by you
hot damn!
I got some drama to stick my toes in
spice up my dormant blood flow
I got the blues this morning
a purpose for the day
something to do
somewhere to go
and later
I can't wait to grab a paper and pen
to write down all these blues
I see and feel all day long
might need some extra paper
should I make it a poem
or lyrics to a song?
now y'all know
I can't dance so much a lick
and can't hold too much of a note
but I got this pad and pen and soft jazz in the air
when all these blues I got fades away
will re-read and edit every word I wrote
and y'all say the blues is bad
avoid it everywhere you see it
and every chance you get
got mine sitting in a vase filled with water
on my night stand
paper towel underneath so it all don't get soaking wet
love me some damn blues
makes my pen up and do the holy dance
smack dab in the middle of church aisle
confess my sins to the preacher man
to set my filthy soul free
them blues sho nuff make me smile
I got the blues today
in different color hues
smiling at me inside a water filled vase
gave me a purpose for this day
the blues
always puts a smile on my face
