Playing My Blues Away

My shadow's long it stretches wide The sun dips low I got nowhere to hide I hum a tune it but it don't feel right Playing my blues away oh yeah Strummin' in the dark till it turns to day Playing my blues away oh yeah This old guitar’s got something to say The river runs but it don’t care to know me The trees they whisper but refuse to show me But every note I bend it sets my soul free Strings crying loud they scream my ache These pick ups echo my heart as it breaks Playing my blues away oh yeah Strummin' in the dark till it turns to day Playing my blues away oh yeah This old guitar’s got something to say Fingers bleeding heart still torn Every chord a life reborn Night falls heavy but I don't care Music lifts me from this despair Playing my blues away oh yeah Strummin' in the dark till it turns to day Playing my blues away oh yeah This old guitar’s got something to say Strings crying loud they scream my ache These pick ups echo my heart as it breaks
