lyrics

Particular Blues by Jennifer Louise Taylor (©2011)

When you look around, you got nothing left to do G Em
Nothing to help you understand C G
There’s nothing left to do when you got these kind of blues G Em
You got to pick up your walking shoes A7 D7 G
You got your own particular kind of blues (x2) A7 D7 G

Some will offer sage advice on how to make it through
But they’ve never walked a mile in your shoes
There’s nothing left to do that makes any sense at all
You’ve got to put on your walking shoes
You got your own particular kind of blues (x2)

Chorus:
And you’ll walk as far as your feet are able A7
Don’t listen when they say honey, “You ain’t stable!” A7 D7
Just pick up your shoes and walk, walk, walk A7
Walk on down the line A7 D7 G
You got your own particular kind of blues (x2) A7 D7 G

Spoken:
And I’m not saying that they don’t mean well C G
But this horse has long since left the barn A7 D7
And it’s way too soon for even me to tell C A7
If he’s ever coming home again D7 G

You may think me odd as I look right through you
But this here’s a solo flight
It’s not my job to educate or make sense of it all
I just put on my walking shoes
I got my own particular kind of blues (x2)

Chorus:
And I’ll walk as far as my feet are able
Won’t listen when they say honey, “You ain’t stable!”
Pick up my shoes and walk, walk, walk
Walk on down the line
I’ve got my own particular kind of blues (x2)
(Repeat first verse)
