[Intro: Instrumental] [MixMap: warm amp hum, short snappy Stratocaster pickup lick, kick and floor tom counting off the shuffle] [1-beat stop] [Chorus: VoxMap: Gritty soulful belt, chest-forward, raw. MixMap: Wide band entry, heavy shuffle groove, backbeat snare crack] My fucking babe gives me the god forsaken blues Leaving a mess everywhere, not thinking twice about anyone else Sucking every dollar out my poor slim wallet Cursing up a storm and drinking that fire whiskey Yeah, that woman fills my night with the blues [Verse 1: VoxMap: Lower register, bitter, half-drunk. MixMap: Sparse rhythm, neck pickup chops, bass locked to kick] Smelling like that sticky green she supposedly quit Lighting up that silver zippo on the side of the bed Fucking up the sheets, leaving ash on the floor Four AM, kicking down the goddamn door [Guitar rake] [Pre-Chorus: VoxMap: Rising anger, strained. MixMap: Ride cymbal swell, guitar dyads building tension] I pour another glass of this burning whisky bottle Sitting in the dark playing the babe got me blues [Chorus: VoxMap: Maximum grit, wide open. MixMap: Heavy shuffle groove, offbeat guitar stabs] My fucking babe gives me the god forsaken blues Leaving a mess everywhere, not thinking twice about anyone else Sucking every dollar out my poor slim wallet Cursing up a storm and drinking that fire whiskey Yeah, that woman fills my night with the blues [Verse 2: VoxMap: Staccato, accusatory, biting. MixMap: Bridge pickup twang, snappy attack] Found a burner phone hiding in her winter coat Taste the fucking poison crawling up my throat Lipstick on the rim of a whiskey glass I’m paying for the room while she tears it fucking up [Drum fill] [Solo: 16-bar electric blues rock guitar solo] [MixMap: Expressive bends, call-and-response phrasing, minor pentatonic into major third resolutions, wide vibrato, real tube amp sustain, rhythm section pulling back to let the guitar bleed] [Bridge: VoxMap: Stripped back, exhausted but hostile. MixMap: Drums cut to cross-stick and kick only, low bass pulse] I should throw her shit out in the fucking rain Watch it wash down into the goddamn drain But I'm sick and addicted to that crazy woman She's a rattlesnake and I'm kissing the fucking ring [Final Chorus: VoxMap: Desperate, max intensity, blown-out grit. MixMap: Biggest section of the song, crashing cymbals, overdrive pushed to the edge] My fucking babe gives me the god forsaken blues Leaving a mess everywhere, not thinking twice about anyone else Sucking every dollar out my poor slim wallet Cursing up a storm and drinking that fire whiskey Yeah, that woman fills my night with the blues [Outro: VoxMap: Spat curse tails, fading into the room. MixMap: Extended turnaround, final dominant 7 chord stab, spring reverb tail] Yeah she gives me the everlasting blues. [Guitar feedback bleed] [Hard stop]
