lyrics

Fearing monotony, / I long for routine / in different places, faces-- / one or two, I love. // Second sleep dreaming / of "Basin Street Blues," / epiphonic treasury, / I long for just / one or two // I absorb / when I can't analyze, / to take more in is to keep from / losing control // Shooting and cutting, / "Champion" Jack Dupree, / been singing to no one since / the turn of the century. / Six-and-a-half up / with ten left to go, sometimes all it takes / is the wrong man to steal home // It's no "Chico" Ruiz / and I will make it through / listening every day to Gram's / "A Song for You" // It's the crawlin' king snake / that sets me free / taking all these / bad whiskey blues and / turning them to poetry
