This song is for our track teams 4x400m relay. we could have easily gotten a school record at regionals, but we had a nasty race. Hopefully it will help ease the pain. A work in progress, trying to get a singer to finish it.
The 4x4 Blues in G minor by Patrick Hughes III
(Verse 1)
Gonna go down to the track
’n see what we can do
got that sun right on my back
she’s got me feelin’ blue
see them spiders on the wall
jumpin’ all around
feel like I’m about to fall
right onto the ground
(Verse 2)
walkin down to start the race
sweatin like a fool
lookin death right in the face
sure wish I had a pool
an’ I step on up to that line
race about to start
so much goin through my mind
don’t think I can play this part
(Chorus)
I got the 4x4 blues
yeah, the 4x4 blues
I got the 4x4 blues
yeah, the 4x4 blues
the 4x4 blues
the 4x4 blues
not much we can do
’bout these 4x4 blues
(Solo)
(Bridge) (Right After Solo)
so slow, so slow
not as fast as we can go, no
(Verse 3)
and now the race is startin’
and off we go
things looking ugly
like a dirty, nasty ho
we try to do our best
but I guess it aint enough
not as fast as all the rest
man this sure is tough
(Chorus repeated as necessary)
