Blues to the Bone

 BLUES TO THE BONE

Original Blues Rock Song

Woke up this morning, thunder in my head,
Reached across the pillow, found an empty bed.
Coffee’s gone cold, rain’s coming down,
Ain’t a single ray of sunshine in this godforsaken town.

Got a hole in my pocket, got a crack in my soul,
Been paying for my sins since I was ten years old.

I’m blues to the bone,
Yeah, blues to the bone.
Got the devil on my shoulder,
And a heart made out of stone.

I’ve been down so long,
That the darkness feels like home.
Lord, I ain’t just feeling blue,
I’m blues to the bone.

Had a woman once, she was wild as the wind,
Loved me like an angel, left me drowning in sin.
She took my last dollar, took my favorite guitar,
Left a note on the table saying, “Baby, you won’t get far.”

Now the whiskey don’t burn, and the nights don’t end,
And every road I travel leads me back again.


I’m blues to the bone,
Yeah, blues to the bone.
Got the devil on my shoulder,
And a heart made out of stone.

I’ve been down so long,
That the darkness feels like home.
Lord, I ain’t just feeling blue,
I’m blues to the bone

I’ve been chasing shadows down a dead-end street,
Got a thousand miles of trouble underneath my feet.
Made a deal with the darkness, shook the devil’s hand,
Now I’m trying to find redemption in this broken-down land.

But there’s fire in my fingers, and thunder in my veins,
Every time I play these blues, I let go of the pain

You know, some folks get the blues on a Saturday night,
Some folks get ‘em when their money ain’t right.
But me?
I was born with ‘em, baby.
They run through my blood,
They live in my soul,
And they ain’t ever letting go.

I’m blues to the bone!
Lord, I’m blues to the bone!
Got a six-string salvation,
And a heart that’s been thrown.

I’ve been burned by the fire,
I’ve been cut by the stone.
But I’ll keep on playing, baby,
Till the good Lord calls me home!

Yeah, I’m blues to the bone…
Down in my soul…
Blues to the bone…

To Talk About The Past

To Talk About The Past Do you ever yearn to sit down with old friends and reminisce about the past? I often find myself contemplating this idea, especially since I spend a significant amount of time alone. The question that arises is whether it’s wise to pursue this. Will the memories align with reality, or will I be disappointed? Additionally, as I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize that some of my friends may not remember certain events at all. Despite these challenges, the urge to reconnect persists. One significant obstacle for me is the limited number of true male friends I’ve had. While I’ve had coworkers and some acquaintances, only a select few have been able to provide me with meaningful conversations. There’s only one person left whom I regularly confide in. There’s at least one friend in Pennsylvania, but the distance prevents us from engaging in deep conversations. I acknowledge that I haven’t made more of an effort to connect with men in this area, but I simply don’t sha...

Where Did The Romance Go

Valentines Day My wife and I have been married for over 37 years now. After talking to a few friends who have been married for over 20 years, I noticed that most of them either didn’t do anything special for Valentine’s Day or just exchanged cards. This made me curious about the reasons behind this trend. After some reflection, I have a few ideas. First, let me share my own experience with Valentine’s Day. In high school, I wanted it to be perfect. Even though most teenagers didn’t have much money, they would spend whatever they could to make it memorable. It could be as simple as a cute card and some cuddling or kissing. Doing nothing or forgetting was unthinkable. I can relate to this. In my dating years, if there was someone special, I would go all out. A nice dinner and wine at a restaurant, flowers, cards, and possibly chocolates or balloons would be included. It was enjoyable and made me feel good, and hopefully, it made the date happy. However, I should also mention that early V...

Electric Touch

 Lyrics I wrote a while back to create an AI generated song. Here is the link to the AI song with my lyrics and yes I am Barry Dingle  https://suno.com/s/O0OunccZhAcKwyAI [Verse] Fingers dancing on her skin tonight Sparks fly sharp in the neon light The pulse of her breath a wild delight [Chorus] Electric touch she’s a live wire Electric touch sets my veins on fire Electric touch takes me higher higher [Verse 2] Hair like fire burns against my hand Every glance a word I can’t understand She’s the storm and I’m sinking in quicksand [Prechorus] Voltage rising can’t control She’s the fuse and I’m the soul [Chorus] Electric touch she’s a live wire Electric touch sets my veins on fire Electric touch takes me higher higher [Bridge] She shocks me she rocks me she breaks me apart Her static fingers carve lightning in my heart No escape no desire I’m chained to the spark
