BLUE CAR BLUES - Garrington T. Jones (feat. Tone Tanner)

Описание: BLUE CAR BLUES (from ABYSSINIA)

For twelve years, I owned a blue Nissan Almeria Tino motor car; an S.U.V. actually. “Big Blue” was both a coach horse and a mule; adapting to a range of duties for family life, business and gigging. She was a trooper. But when she went wrong (which was rare), she went wrong and my wallet paid the price.
Early in 2017, just 53 miles short of her 100,000 mile (168,000km) milestone, she developed expensive valve problems and very reluctantly, I let her go to the scrapper. But if I was a rich man, “Big Blue” would still be here today. Vale “Big Blue”- a true servant and never to be forgotten.

LYRICS:

Just got home from work,
In my blue, blue car.
My wallet feels much lighter,
An' I ain't drove that far.
Ya wanna know why baby?
Yeah I know you really do.
My wallets three hundred dollars lighter woman,
An' I don't know what to do?

I got the blue car blues baby,
Oh it makes me feel so bad.
I got the blue car blues baby,
I'm so blue, it makes me feel so sad..

Well my blue car baby,
She ain't got a lot,
She ain't got no V8 engine,
Or a military spot.
She ain't got no bull bars,
Or wide alloy wheels,
But she loves my wallet baby,
An' you know how that makes me feel....

Chorus

Well I try to keep her good,
But all she does is squeal,
So I took her to the man,
And he said the problems in her wheel.
So he done her good with the wrench,
An' you know I'm pleased to say,
He hushed up all her cursin' screams,
An' sent me on my way.....
With my blue car blues...

One day I'm gonna be a rich man,
But I won't have no Cadillac,
I won't own me a Lincoln,
A Stingray or a Cat.
I won't buy a Lamborghini,
And a Bentley just won't do,
I'm gonna keep my blue car baby,
So I can sing the blues.....

Chorus
