I can take the skin of a kiwi

But I still don't like 'em sour

Baby you been doin' me

More wrong by the hour

Hangin' from the powerline

By the laces of your shoes

How'd you expect to stay alive

With your head caught in the current of the blues?

Get over your gravel road

Turn it into cobblestone

Quit watchin' all that white noise

And tune in to the radio

You're barefoot on a rose bush

And bleedin' on your chains

Biting it won't get you free

With your eyes shut on the smoke of playing games


'Cuz you've let the blues become your ruse

It tricks you to think you've got nothing to lose

I turn over the dirt and you get all hurt

Just admit that you're painting a lie


Bash in the hideaway

Adjust to the light of day

Stop seeing your reflection

And thinking that your heart's okay

Chewing through the cable chords

Stepping over all the traps

Don't you know you're caught in one

And you're stuck in the maze running laps?


'Cuz you've let the blues become your ruse

It tricks you to think you've got nothing to lose

I turn over the dirt and you get all hurt

Just admit that you're painting a lie


Bash in the hideaway

Adjust to the light of day

Stop seeing your reflection

And thinking that your heart's okay

Hangin' from the powerline

By the laces of your shoes

How'd you expect to stay alive

With your head caught in the current of the blues?

I don't know what inspired me when I started writing this, because that was quite a while ago. More like a couple years ago. But I know that the song has a real country-rock feel to it. Of all things, country. I never thought I'd dip my toes in that category. I still like the attitude in it though :)

This is great! It really does feel bluesy. I like the rhyme scheme. :)
