Genuine

Come on pretty baby take a walk with me

Down the back alley where nobody sees

All your life they told you you can’t win

But when I look in your eyes I see the fire within

 

I’m the real deal, this ain’t no show

When I sing these Blues you’ll know

I’m genuine

 

 Everybody’s talking, but few of them know

‘Cause talking is free, but silence is gold

I got no story, no jive and no spin

Comfortable living in my natural skin

 

Some got more money some got more fame

I make no false claims,

 I’m genuine

My father always told me choose your battles, son

The show ain’t over ‘till the fat lady’s sung

So I won’t fight ‘em if I can tell

That if I give enough rope they gonna hang themselves

 

I wrestled the angel until the dawn

I fought those demons ‘till they’ve gone 

back to hell 

 

When you see me coming don’t you make me wait

The night ain’t over but it’s getting late

We’re getting out of town, heading for the hills

Baby, take the key, and get behind the wheel

 

You’ve been around, seen ‘em come and go

You’ve seen enough to know 

I’m genuine
