by Mark Courter. This sort of thing has been done a lot. Now I've done it too. Another in my anti-blues series. I did vocals, guitars, bass and drums, and mixed it. As usual, it is not Mastered.

Lyrics
I been down that long hard road
Just like my brother man
Every time I get ahold of something
Someone snatch it out of my hand
I been locked up, knocked down, rode hard and pushed round
But I never backed down
Always felt a day would come
When I could find some home ground
I’m waiting for the day
When things finally get a little better, not worse
When I finally get what I’m after
I’ll have the blues in reverse
Been down so long it’s got to be a sin
Nobody knows the troubles I been in
Work my fingers right down to the bone
Never have time to be nothing but alone
got to go forth each and every day
With a black cloud over my head
The effort it takes just to stay alive
Leave me feeling half dead
I’m looking for a way
Finally to rid myself of this curse
When I finally get what I’m after
I’ll have the blues in reverse
A lifetime of trial and tribulation
To get where I am today
Maybe I found a silver lining
To help me on my way
Gotta a fine woman by my side
Along this vale of tears
Says she’ll go along for the ride
And alleviate my fears
When it comes to hard times
I can recite you chapter and verse
I finally got what I’m after
I got the blues in reverse
