Standing In The Blues

from Presence & Gain by Blacktop Deluxe

/

about

It’s always a pleasure to see a song grow and this came from an idea Alan brought back with him after a
trip to France for a nice slow Blues.
Putting it into a major key rather than a minor helped shape the tune and the addition of sung/played
lines, all add to its style and delivery.

lyrics

How easily you lie babe, you always knew too much about me.
Our friends kept asking why, I lived my life on blended knee.
Chorus
Seems like nothing I can do
We’re one divided by two,
All this running round you do,
Just leaves me standing round in the Blues.
You know you used to help me fly; Now you’ve reset my world to zero.
I can’t claim no alibi, like you say, I’m no super hero.
Chorus
Well it’s just another Ghost town, as I walk your lonesome highway.
You’ve left me all tore down, As if things ever went my way.
Chorus to end
