lyrics

Here Come The Blues - © 2013, Scott Hrabko

Oil and water had a little daughter
Lord, they taught her
Everything they knew
Trouble child, may God be with you

Oh, look out, world
Here come the blues

Fast rides to nowhere
Every Saturday night
In that crumbling cracker town
Pearls for swine, a bottle of wine
She’d let her long hair down

Nickel and dime-ing
Damn near dying
Any kind of ride will do
Through the flames, that city called her name

Look out world
Here come the blues

Somebody’s daughter is up on the stage
Shaking it down
God knows I’m getting old
When I see it that way
But I’m still around
Somebody’s daughter,
Young enough to be mine
But that don’t stop the chills
From running up and down my spine

By the ice machine at the Elms Motel
Trying to straighten up her hair
Sad, blue eyes on my demise
In the ragged neon glare

Well, I turned around
And I walked away
Because she asked me to
By the dying light I’ll pray for her tonight

Look out world, here come the blues
Here come the blues
Here come the blues

Scott Hrabko image

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late- 80s indie rock scene.

“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression ... more
