My guitar string is broke but I’m gonna keep playing Sun on the porch rail sweat on my hands Finger on the fret still making my stand This delta blues keeps a coming One dead string ain’t gonna stop me playing Keep strumming I’m gonna keep playing Keep playing that delta blues stay coming Keep playing I’m gonna keep playing One string gone but my soul stays humming Five I have, that’s enough to ring my name Every crack in the wood still burns the same Neighbors hear that stumble hear that bent note cry I lean into the hurt and let it slide This delta blues keeps a coming itch When the night gets rough I just tighten my grip Keep playing I’m gonna keep playing Keep playing that delta blues stay coming Keep playing I’m gonna keep playing One string gone but my soul stays humming If the road goes dry I’ll sing through the grain If the storm rolls in I’ll call it by name Keep playing I’m gonna keep playing Keep playing that delta blues stay coming Keep playing I’m gonna keep playing One string gone but my soul stays humming
