dave alvin & jimmie dale gilmore - blind owl lyrics
[verse 1]
midnight in kansas city
there’s a hot summer rain falling down
another gig, another barroom
way out on the outskirts of town
and folks are dancin’ and sweatin’
somewhere between salvation and sin
and when the morning sun rises
i’ll be back on the road again
[chorus]
heading for the next joint
i’m gonna make this guitar growl
i’m gonna blow the roof off it, baby
i’m gonna make this harmonica howl
then i’ll jump the boogie for big joe and
play the blues for the blind owl
[verse 2]
out in wild california
there’s a redwood piercing the sky
rising up from the forest
over three hundred feet high
and the odds are stacked against it
but somеhow that sequoia survives
standing strong, standing proud
and that’s wherе the blind owl still flies
[chorus]
heading for the next joint
i’m gonna make this guitar growl
i’m gonna blow the roof off it, baby
i’m gonna make this harmonica howl
then i’ll go walking with mr. lee and
play the blues for the blind owl
[verse 3]
midnight down in tuscon
or any town along the highway
crank up the amps, whisper a prayer
thankful for every d+mn day
’cause the odds are stacked against us
but somehow we still survive
standing strong, playing proud
’cause that’s where the blind owl still flies
[chorus]
heading for the next joint
i’m gonna make this guitar growl
i’m gonna blow the roof off it, baby
i’m gonna make this harmonica howl
then i’ll rock the boogie for brother gene and then
play the blues for the blind owl
