Low Down Dirty Blues

 

Chillin to, with, and wearin them blues

They shake me up, low down, and dirty too

Into every cell of my body they stealthily creep

They won’t let me go and they won’t let me sleep

 

Tastin, smellin and eatin them blues

Got hold of my heart and they won’t let it go

These blues keep a coming in waves deeply rollin

They got the rock and roll and the soul a strollin

 

Movin to, caught by, I’m livin them blues

Held tight by the scruff of this scrawny neck

Nothin but blues in my head, heart and mind

Seekin high, seekin low, no relief nothin kind

 

Seein, lovin, and feelin them blues

Got a hold of my head till I weep some more joy

My short hairs held tightly in the hands of the blues

No escape, no relief, all blues from my head to my shoes

 

Swimmin, sinkin, and drownin in Blues

Great title. There ain't nothing more low down and dirty than the blues...
I'm thinkin' you've captured them fairly well here. Once you get it in your head it's almost impossible to get rid of them, nice job Veronica! Lovin' Bonnie Raitt and CSN!
