BB King Tribute EP

The Thrill Is Gone

The thrill is gone the thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone the thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong and you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone it's gone away from me
The thrill is gone the thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on but so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone it's gone away for good
The thrill is gone it's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be over it all just like I know a good man should
You know I'm free, free now I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free, free now I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over all I can do is wish you well

When It All Comes Down (I'll Still Be Around)

The world goes round no one knows what it all means
You're still out there looking for a brand new scene
And I'm still here never have been hard to find
When new gets old I'll be playing on your mind
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around

The day will come when there's nothing new to see
And then you'll know here is where you want to be
You know my song used to take your heart away
That same old feel is gonna bring you back to stay
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around

Power Of The Blues

Get it while it's hot.
I've been all over Europe and across the sea
With each new place it gets clearer to me
Week after week on tour with my band
You don't have to speak because they all understand
The power of the blues the power of the blues
And that's good news I'm talking about the power of the blues

It's just a few changes that I won't deny
But if you think it's easy you just give it a try
You know the truth but you're afraid to say it
That it ain't what I play it's the way that I play it
That's the power of the blues the power of the blues
You'll change your views when you hear the power of the blues

Now me and Lucille we're gonna stop this war
I'm no politician but I know the score
You can call me a hawk or maybe I'm a dove
But all we gotta do is shoot them full of love
With the power of the blues the power of the blues
It's the thing to use talking about the power of the blues

Big Boss Man

Big boss man can you hear me when I call
Big boss man can you hear me when I call
You ain't so big you're just tall, that's all 

You got me working, boss man working 'round the clock
I want me a drink of water you won't let me stop
You big boss man can you hear me when I call?
You ain't so big you're just tall, that's all 

Gonna get myself a boss man one gonna treat me right
Work me hard in the day time but I'll sure rest easy at night
Big boss man can you hear me when I call
You ain't so big you're just tall, that's all 

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

You won't listen to nothing I tell you you keep on doing just as you please
You won't do nothing I tell you keep on doing as you please
I've taken as long as I can when is this foolishness gonna cease

I've worried myself crazy cried both night and day
I said I've worried myself crazy cried both night and day
You don't believe me but I'm gonna leave one of these days

Well, you told me that you love me but actions speak louder than words
You said you love me but action speaks louder than words
I won't be fooled no longer that line everybody's heard

Well, If you're gonna change you better do it real soon
If you're gonna change for the better you better do it real soon
Because you'll wake up one of these mornings find yourself in a empty room

Shotgun Blues

Every night I go to sleep the blues fall down like rain 
Every night I go to sleep the blues fall down like rain
Taking pills, cheap whiskey just to try to ease the pain

Well it's hard to gamble when you lose every bet
Hard to save money when you're twenty years in debt
The blues is falling falling down on me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now and disconnect my brain

I made some mistakes had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work and my whole body aches
The blues is falling falling down on me like rain
My life is like water just swirling down the drain

Well I tried standing up I keep on falling down
Tried standing up keep on falling down
Everywhere I go the blues is all around
