Blue In Memphis
My backs against the wall, I don’t know what to do
Ain’t got no home, and it’s rainin’ too
Lost all my money, brother I’m in a jam
I’m drunk and I’m dirty and it’s only 9am
Man I’m blue, in Memphis Tennessee
If I could just play the harmonica, someone’d help me
When I lived in the windy city, I thought I was big a deal
I was young and handsome, I had sex appeal
I’d stand on a corner and ask "Hey! You know who I am?"
Well I’m the town drunk And this is a BIG town, so you know I’m slammed! But,
Now I’m blue, in Memphis Tennessee
If I could just play the Slide guitar (bet you a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue) somebody’d notice me!
Now I’m crawlin’ up and down, that famous Beale street
You know when you’re on your hands and knees, all you can see is feet
Gotta change my disposition, start looking up
Trade in that bottle of brown, for a Starbucks coffee cup
Damn it I’m Blue, in Memphis Tennessee
If I don’t stop this self pity train, ain’t nobody ever gonna miss me!

Home of the Blue
D James/Joe Di Francesco
When you’re livin’ large, in a land of plenty
It’s easy to not to see, those who don’t have any
But when the tide turns, and you know it will
Just makes it hard, to swallow that bitter pill
When the dark clouds come, clearly into view
And you don’t know where, or who to turn to
Standin’ at a door, that you can’t get through
Welcome to your new home, Home of the Blue
Yeah bidness was good, and everything was fine
I was smokin’ cigars and drinkin’ fine wine
Then bad turned to worse, and I couldn’t make it change
I found myself alone, left out in a cold hard rain
When bad turns to worse, and you don’t know what to do
Everybody for them selves, there’s no hand to help you
Gotta dig down deep, and you’ll find that it’s true
We all spend time, in the Home of the Blue
Time rolls like a river, slowly takin’ us to the end
Those who survive end up, their own last friend
It’s as natural as it is real, feelin’ & dealin’ with the gloom
When you wake up one day, with no one in the room
When your journey’s at the end, & you’re thinkin’ bout how time flew
You flashback & see your life…the path that you drew
Don’t be surprised to find, those hard times were when we grew
Lessons we learned livin’, in the Home of the Blue
