Self Destructive Blues
Rocking Away the Self Destructive Blues with Johnny Winter
Lyrics
Woke up this mornin' feelin' bad
Expressing a negative start to the day, feeling unhappy or troubled.
Thinkin' 'bout the good things I once had had
Reflecting on past positive experiences and possessions that are now gone.
Ain't no good, feelin' this a way
Acknowledging the current emotional state as undesirable.
Gonna rock my blues away
Expressing a desire to overcome the blues through music and dance.
Gonna get up
Committing to taking action and getting up from the low emotional state.
Tear my blue self down
Expressing a willingness to break down one's own emotional barriers.
When I get through boogyin'
After engaging in lively music (boogie), anticipating a positive change.
Won't be no more blues around
Expecting that the blues will be eliminated after the musical experience.
Drank some whiskey, beer and wine
Describing the consumption of alcohol and expressing resilience despite mistreatment.
Ya know I been mistreated & I don't mind dyin'
Acceptance of mistreatment and an indifference towards the idea of death.
come here momma, bring me one more pint
Requesting more alcohol to cope with difficulties and escape reality.
Gonna get stoned, gonna wreck this joint
Planning to get intoxicated and cause a disturbance in the environment.
Gonna get up
Reiterating the intention to rise from the emotional low through action.
Tear my blue self down
Expressing determination to break down one's own emotional barriers.
When I get through boogy'in'
Anticipating a positive change after engaging in energetic dancing.
Won't be no more blues around
Confidently asserting that the blues will be eradicated after the boogie.
Spendin' money, lord, feelin' good
Indulging in spending money and feeling content and satisfied.
Gettin' down like I knew I would
Enjoying oneself as expected, getting down and having a good time.
I don't trust women, don't like men
Expressing distrust towards both genders, suggesting a guarded attitude.
Might not feel this good again
Acknowledging the possibility that the current positive feeling might not last.
Gonna get up
Reaffirming the commitment to rise from the emotional low through action.
Tear my blue self down
Expressing determination to break down one's own emotional barriers.
When I get through boogy'in'
Anticipating a positive change after engaging in energetic dancing.
Won't be no more blues around
Confidently asserting that the blues will be eradicated after the boogie.
