Lyrics NP Tiedemann, Dave Schaefer, Chris Chesna
Never picked no cotton
Plantation never my home
Lost no sweat on the Delta
Ain’t done no one no harm
Never been in no jailhouse
Never done no time
Ain’t no Lemon Johnson
And I ain’t blind
Well you go on and tell me
that I can’t sing the blues
Just wanna ask you
who is it makes all the rules
Don’t hurt you to listen
you got nothin’ to lose
Never shot a man in Memphis
I drive an SUV
I work for a hi-tech firm
And its worryin’ me
I use a cell phone
A computer too
You tell me I can’t sing the blues
For all these things I do
Still you go on and tell me
that I can’t sing the blues
Don’t hurt you to listen
you got nothin’ to lose
Come on cut me a break
just wanna sing the blues
Instrumental section
Keep spinnin’ my wheels along
I’ve gone so many ways
Should’a listened to mamma’s words
but who knows these days
Gettin’ Older but I ain’t dead
Still got somethin’ to say
Ain’t nobody listenin’ to me
Don’t hear a word I say
Well you go on and tell me
that I can’t sing the blues
Just wanna ask you
who is it makes all the rules
Don’t hurt you to listen
you got nothin’ to lose
Never shot a man in Memphis
I drive an SUV
I work for a hi-tech firm
It’ll be the death of me
Still you go on and tell me
that I can’t sing the blues
Don’t hurt you to listen
you got nothin’ to lose
Come on cut me a break
just wanna sing the blues
