Well I am strapped down to a rock
I’m strapped down to a razor
You’d think I’d have a place to stand after all those things I gave her
But that foot still slips right out of the shoe
I got 12 bars of blues
I feel something coming on it makes it hard to even speak
I feel a tickle in my throat I might be out for the whole next week
But we got all these bills past due
And I got 12 bars of blues
So gimme me that jacket
I wanna dress up like the gentlemen do
Gimme them drumsticks
I’m counting off 12 bars of blues
She’s got rock and roll in English so what the hell else would you need
She’s got two guitars a drum set a base and a live feed
But she’s got no one to help her move
I got 12cbars of blues
Well they’re blowing on the cinders
I’m in a corner with a dunce
I’m wanna dress it up just like it was a dream that I had once
But we’ve got all these rules
I got 12 bars of blues
Gimme that jacket
I wanna dress up like the gentlemen do
Give me them drumsticks
I’m counting off 12 bars of blues
I was late to the party, but you know, to be fair it didn’t really get going till I got there
And I think it’s gonna wrap up soon.
So I’ll leave with these 12 bars of blues
Get me that jacket The way I’m feeling you know I just can’t lose Give me them drumsticks I’m counting off 12 bars of blues
