Stole My Heart In Delta Mud

Swampy delta blues stomp with male vocals, rusted slide guitar and a thick, humid groove, Kick and floor tom hit like slow footsteps through mud; bass lumbers behind, Verses stay low and smoky, with room for snarling guitar fills; chorus opens wider with gang shouts and a call-and-response feel, Harmonica wails in the gaps, final turn-around fades on a dirty slide riff, male vocals, delta blues

[Verse 1] Met you by the levee Bare feet in the clay Your laugh cut through August Like a rusted razor blade You took my hand so easy Said "Boy Don’t fall apart" But there’s a lock on my rib cage And she walked off with the key to my heart [Chorus] I can't love you 'cause she stole my heart Left me bleeding in the cattails Torn apart You’re the right kind of wrong But I still can't start I can't love you 'cause she stole my heart [Verse 2] You pour that cheap rye whiskey Into my chipped tin cup Your eyes say "Come on Let go" But my chest stays boarded up Her perfume’s in the kudzu Her name’s in every scar You’re here in this shotgun kitchen But my soul’s still in her car [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If I had two hearts Girl I'd give you one (uh-huh) One for your sweet smile One for what she done But I’m running on empty Just a drum with a busted skin You keep knocking on the outside Nothing shaking here within [Chorus]
