Delta Bone

가사

[Verse 1] I left with a six-string and a coat gone thin Two quarters rattling in a coffee tin Mama said, “Son, don’t trade your heart for gold” So I carried her warning where the highways rolled [Verse 2] Played back rooms where the ceiling leaked Sang for a supper and a place to sleep Every town had a door that refused my name Every night had a spark I could not tame [Chorus] I’m still walking with the blues in my blood Still learning what a broken road is worth Every scar is a verse, every mile is a prayer And I hear that old six-string calling me there I may bend, I may break, but I won’t disappear I’ve got a song for the sorrow and a reason to stay here [Verse 3] Met a woman in Memphis with a red silk scarf She heard the ache underneath the laugh Said, “You don’t have to outrun what you’ve known” Then she kissed my cheek and sent me home [Bridge] Now the years sit heavy on the tuning pegs And the names of the fallen live under my breath But the dawn keeps opening beyond every bend And the road that took me is my road again [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I’m still walking with the blues in my blood Still learning what a broken road is worth Every scar is a verse, every mile is a prayer And I hear that old six-string calling me there I may bend, I may break, but I won’t disappear I’ve got a song for the sorrow and a reason to stay here [Outro] So strike one more chord till the dark gives way I’ve got miles in my boots and a little light to save
