Lyrics

Limpin' Blues

I've been limping so long now it's how I walk
in the past I sashayed down the block
I was light on my feet if you want to compare
like Usain Bolt or Fred Astaire

maybe you recall me tricky and lean
couldn't slow me down with a head of steam
sliding round town so smooth and bold
now I've got a little hitch in my wagon load

it's just a little groove they use out West
it’s not the walkin' blues, it's the limpin' blues at best

stumbling downtown in my dress up shoes
to listen to my Wednesday rhythm and booze
legs not quite at my command
got tripped up in Afghanistan

strange way to move no way to be I guess
I can’t say its the walkin’ blues but the limpin blues...yes

Freddie said he saw your confident gait crossing south Antioch Street
I lied and tried to laugh it off last night now I'm shuffling this Nashville heat

I've been limping so long now it's how I walk
in the past I sashayed down the block
I was light on my feet if you want to compare
like Usain Bolt or Fred Astaire

it's just a little groove they use out West
it’s not the walkin' blues, it's the limpin' blues at best

strange way to move no way to be I guess
I can’t say its the walkin’ blues but the limpin' blues...yes
