White Boy Blues - The Bottle Rockets

He’s got the best tweed Bassman you ever saw

He’s a down home, lowdown attorney-at-law

He knows his licks so don’t you laugh

His beat-to-shit Strat cost ten grand and a half

Have you heard the news, he got the white boy blues

Got himself a guitar that paid its dues

He’ll jam a little when he gets off work tonight

Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright

The boys from the office are really impressed

When he straps that Strat across his chest

Stevie Ray videos, part one and two

He studied 'em both, he knows what to do

Have you heard the news, he got the white boy blues

Got himself a guitar that paid its dues

Jam a little when he gets off work tonight

Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright

Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright

He’s a member of the local blues society

Tryin' to work his way up to a twelve gauge E

His wife’s so proud of how he made it sing

He drank too much but that’s a bluesy thing

Wipes off the neck and what’s left of the chrome

Throws it in the turbo Volvo and heads for home

Have you heard the news, he got the white boy blues

Got himself a guitar that paid its dues

He’ll jam a little when he gets off work tonight

Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright
