Ahmad's Blues
Urban Blues Unveiled: Ahmad's Journey Through Life's Changes
Lyrics
I go through the strangest kind of changes
I experience unusual and profound transformations.
Tryin' to find myself a way to pay my dues
Attempting to find a way to settle my debts.
And would you believe it I'm so urban
Surprisingly, I have an urban lifestyle.
My suburban friends don't know my bag of blues
My friends from suburban areas are unaware of my struggles.
I'm up in the morning on the corner so siditty
I am sophisticated and refined in the morning on the street corner.
That you'd hardly know it's me
My appearance is so transformed that people can hardly recognize me.
And late in the evening when I'm mellow
During the late evening when I am relaxed,
There's my fellow with the world for me to see
My companion is there, and there's a whole world for me to explore.
It's a world full of cocktails at nine
The world involves socializing with cocktails at nine.
And dinners and wine very late shows
Engaging in late-night dinners, wine, and shows.
And where the crowd goes
Being where the crowd goes.
I'm a girl with a world of her owna queen on her throne
I am a woman with my own world, a queen on her throne.
Till everything's gone and then
Until everything is gone, and I realize I'm a stranger.
I wake up to find that I'm a stranger
In a world unfamiliar to me.
In a world where I have never before
Searching for the man who used to be with me.
I look for my man who held my hand
But now I know that he'll be coming back no more
Telling the story of this burden of sadness (bag of blues).
I'm telling you 'bout this bag of blues
Paid a significant amount of dues, baby.
Paid a whole lotta dues baby
Deciding to change my way of living, talking about these blues.
Gonna change my way of livin' talkin' bags of blues
Mister, can't you see I'm paying my dues?
Mister don't you see I'm paying dues
Planning to change my shoes, baby.
Gonna change me some shoes baby
Walkin' in a daze to my apartment where I'll grab another wink
Dozing on the sofa until eleven, then getting up for another drink.
And doze on the sofa 'til eleven then get up and pour myself another drink
Meanwhile, at the party, I'll be hearty while waiting for better news.
While back at the party I'll be hardy while I'm waitin' for some better news
But for now, I'll sit here and cool down.
But now in the meantime I'll just sit right here and cool it
We'll cool down and listen to the rhythm, Ahmad's blues.
We're gonna cool it now and listen to the rhythm
Ahmad's blues
