King Of The Blues


He's had his share of women
Had Ms share of booze
Got diamonds on his fingers
Wears alligator shoes
Seen the top and he's seen the bottom
From both sides of the track
Been up and down and broke
Still got the scars across his back

He don't come from Memphis
But he's paid his dues
Ain't no doubt about it
He's the undisputed King of the blues

It was a hot night in Chicago
Been too long on the road
A one night stand with a pickup band
In a club called Kokomo
When a record man
With a store bought tan
And a sharp Armani suit
Said 'Hello boys I like your noise and
I sure like the way you move'

You don't come from Memphis
But you've paid his dues
Ain't no doubt about it
You're the undisputed King of the blues

He's got a Cadillac, an eight grand axe
He's on a million dollar roll
Records in with a bullet
Looks like he's the man to know
Now the crowds are getting bigger
Hotels the best in town
The IRS can kiss his ass
They ain't never gonna track him down
