At midnight I drank my first whiskey
Before going on stage
In the cigarette smoke
Which went to my head
I sang until the morning
br/>American standards
I already had the blues in my blood at 20 years old
I went on the road, alone with my band
In my old rusty car e
The evenings when we stayed up very late
I took out my guitar
All night long we jammed
Those were our evenings es without women
We didn't have much money
But the blues in our blood
Sometimes we wish
That everything was as before
Musician friends
One-night stand
And this girl who shows up one evening
Coming from nowhere
It's a memory that haunts me
Just a little bluesy memory
Sometimes we wish
That everything was as before
Musician friends
And one-night stands
And this girl who shows up one evening
In the middle of nowhere
It's a memory that chases me
Just a little bluesy memory
Today I always need my whiskey
Before going on stage
And I smoke a cigarette or two
And it goes to my head
An old blues from Otis Redding, Ray Charles or BB King
I'm still 40 years old
The blues in the blood
