Buddy Guy Tribute EP

 Mother-In-Law Blues

I'm in love with you but your mother, she's got the mood
I'm in love with you but your mother, she got the mood
I just can't help myself Lord, I got those mother-in-law blues

Whenever I'd go for a ride in the country she wants to ride along too
I had to trade and get a sports car with bucket seats just for two
Whenever I get a phone call I bet your 5 against your 10
That she's on the extension line just tryin' to listen in

Whenever I try to watch television and get me some peace of mind
I bet she's up to walk in my room and twist to channel 9
A man's home is supposed to be his castle where he is supposed to be the king
But as long as this woman is in my house our love won't be a thing

I'm in love with you but your mother, Lord, she's got the mood
I just can't help myself Lord, I got those mother-in-law blues
Lord don't you know I got those mother-in-law blues

Damn Right, I've Got The Blues

You damn right, I've got the blues,
From my head down to my shoes
You damn right, I've got the blues,
From my head down to my shoes
I can't win, cause I don't have a thing to lose

I stopped by my daughters house
You know I just want to use the phone
I stopped by my daughters house
You know I just want to use the phone
You know my new grand baby came to the door
And said, granddaddy you know ain't no one at home

You damn right, I've got the blues,
From my head down to my shoes
You damn right, I've got the blues,
From my head down to my shoes
You know I can't win because I don't have a thing to lose
You damn right, I've got the blues

Heavy Love

I got a heavy love, I can't carry it all by myself
I got a heavy love, I can't carry it all by myself
I got both sides of the wagon won't you give me a little help

I got a big fat heart, with lots of love on top
I got a big fat heart, with lots of love on top
You better come to my well before I have a love attack

I'd lay down my burden, if I only could
I'd lay down my burden, you know that I surely would
I got a heavy heart, I can't carry it all alone
You better come to my rescue before all my strength is gone

Two tons of affection, three tons of desire
Will make this love connection set this weight on fire
I got a heavy love bearin' down on me
This love makes me a prisoner, only you can set me free

Hammer And A Nail

You got in trouble, you was going to jail
Judge asking me, will I draw your bail?
I couldn't refuse 'cause I never fail
And you can't beat that with a hammer and a nail

Look hear, I give you everything that I could afford
You keep begging, just asking for more
I gave you a yacht but you say you wanna sail
Well, you can't beat that with a hammer and a nail

I'm not the best, not the best in town
I'll be the best till the best comes around
'Cause I promise you, I will never fail
And you can't beat that, with a hammer and a nail
You can't beat that, with a hammer and a nail

Born To Play Guitar

I was born in Louisiana and at the age of two
My momma told my papa our little boy's got the blues
I grew up real fast and I've traveled very far
One damn thing's for sure I was born to play the guitar
I got a reputation and everybody knows my name
I was born to play the guitar I got blues running through my veins

Women in Chicago they love me to the bone
But my love for my guitar keep me far away from home
I got a reputation everybody knows my name
I was born to play my guitar I got the blues running through my veins

I got six strings loaded on my bad machine
Show me the money and I'll make this damn thing scream
I'm gonna keep on playing and on my dying day
A polka-dot guitar will be resting on my grave
I got this young reputation and everybody know my name
You know I was born to play this here guitar I got the blues running through my veins

Whiskey, Beer & Wine

Thirsty Beggar written on the door
That bucket of blood staying open 'til 4
Ain't hard to find a great big neon sign
They only serve three things whiskey, beer, and wine

Hardwood bar rickety stool
Cigarette machine selling Camels and Kools
You can solve your problems one drink at a time
You can fix anything over whiskey, beer, and wine

Dirty little bar room kept the lights down low
Icing down the long necks until they was nice and cold
You can sit down an order a bottle of waste your mind
Three ways we get high whiskey, beer, and wine

Corner booth in the back where they had the dice
Sit down at a table shoot craps all night
Like in the good old days drink your troubles good-bye
Mason jar gonna save your soul whiskey, beer, and wine
You can fix anything over whiskey, beer, and wine
