Walking down Avenue B

Long time ago
There was a king
Jumped on to rule
In Africa

Played in the States
My baby crazy

I said the blues is number one
The blues in number one
Soul
Feel so good about a piece of trash
The birds are drunk
They're drinking from my glass
The worms are hungry
Looking for my guitar
White lightning in old fruit jar
I get juiced from Africa to Spain
Ghetto blasting the diamond lane
Fix my strings in the sycamore shade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Making a list
Taking requests
Ripping the blues out of your vest
Strychnine
Hit it with a thud
Stripmine
Delta flood
When you dig up the past
The bones are just toys
Beat your fists through the static and the noise
Cos I got the blues
And I can't be satisfied
Get the blues
Gonna catch that train and ride
Yeah
You got it
Is that good
You got it
Alright just lemme
You want me to do one more
You got the flavor
You want me to do one more
You got the flavor
You got the flavor
You got the flavor
You got the flavor
You got the flavor
You got the flavor
