Blaze's Blues
Wanderlust Ballad: Blaze's Blues Unveils Life's Lonely Highway
Lyrics
I gotta guitar all my own
I possess a guitar that is exclusively mine
I gotta quarter for the telephone
I have a quarter for the telephone
I ain't headed down this highway all alone
I am not traveling on this highway alone
One two three and maybe four
Counting in a casual manner, indicating a carefree attitude
Honey, they're knockin' on my door
People are knocking on my door
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Anticipating that you will feel my absence when I leave
Got no daddy but I got a ma
I do not have a father, but I have a mother
Think she lives in Arkansas
I believe she lives in Arkansas
Maybe I'll go see her some old day
Considering visiting her someday
It ain't like she'd really care
It doesn't seem like she would truly mind
It ain't like she'd pay no fare
She wouldn't be willing to pay for travel expenses
But I might just blow on through there anyway
Still, contemplating the possibility of going there
Headed down to Alabam
Heading towards Alabama
Cause some trouble if I can
Intending to cause some trouble if possible
Aw, buddy, would you like to come along?
Inviting someone to join in the adventure
It's a place I never been
Referring to a place never visited before
And you know I could use a friend
Expressing a need for companionship
They say they'll give us twenty bucks a song
Indicating a promise of payment for songs
I gotta guitar all my own
Reiteration of owning a personal guitar
I gotta quarter for the telephone
Still having a quarter for the telephone
I ain't headed down this highway all alone
Reiterating that the journey is not solitary
One two three and maybe four
Repeating the casual count, implying an easygoing demeanor
Honey, they're knockin' on my door
People are persistently seeking my attention
You know I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone
Acknowledging the expected absence and longing
