I’ve got a beat and it’s making me wild
I’ve got a lick to show you in a bar

Back to my roots
With no money for booze
You can’t lose going down with the blues

I’ve got the spirit I’m in the mood for a drink
All night jamming to a twelve bar link

Back to my roots
With no money for booze
You can’t lose going down with the blues

Well I bet you know by now that
Things gotta be my way, my way
Don’t try your tricks on me 
You’re losing time here, time here
Well I bet you know by now

I’ve got the blues, I like to play
I’ve  got a place, my old Rusty Nail
