Late Night Blues

I was on my way up there

my time had come

I was ready to join you

when suddenly I became

wrapped up cleanly

in my late night blues.

They can take me away

on a simple journey

traveling with the words

that seem to sometimes

get in my way.

Lately when I sing the blues

I don’t look for any answers

just a reckoning of my way

of life, my choice, my pains.

I do like to have these times

with my late night blues

seems my fingertips just sway

to the rhythm and chords

to the riffs and steel lines

that bring my soul to you.

I do delight in my penchant

toward living my late night blues.
