FIVE TRACKS OF THE BLUES

FIVE TRACKS OF THE BLUES TODAY

woke this morning

from the night before

look around

but nothing here

I've seen before

bits and pieces

coming back to me

as I drink my

black coffee

I've got five tracks

of the blues today


getting dressed

in the clothes

of yesterday

my heads

still spinning

I don't think

I've got to much to say

call my woman

but she wont

answer the phone

I've got five tracks

of the blues today


its midday

and work

started at nine

I try to

sneak in

but the boss

he catches me every time

he tells me

the ll be no pay today


I've got five tracks

of the blues today


I go down

to the betting shop

I find

my last five dollars

put it on a horse

they tell me

never stops

they just

didn't tell me

he don't go fast either


I've got five tracks

of the blues today

I've got five tracks

of the blues today
