About the song
I was listening to a lot of electronic and trip hop when I recorded this track. It's not a standard blues in form and the arrangement definitely owes a lot to the era in my life, but I think it's also clear that it is a blues, through and through.

Lyrics

Newly remastered!



I drive around all night
looking for nothing to do
I play guitar til dawn
but every song's about you
--if I sleep I might dream and
we all know that dreams don't come true
Ain't nothin wrong with me baby
I just got the blues


walked along the shore
wondering what a smart guy would do
in the Idiot's Guide to Love
I must be listed in the back under "fool"
sure once I had some answers
...now I'd settle for some lies that sound true
Ain't nothin wrong with me baby
I just got the blues


It's easy for you sugar
but then everything's easy for you
You know what you want
and you know how make it come true
But, it's hard for me, doll,
to bid all that we had adieu
Ain't nothin wrong with me baby
I just got the blues
