It’s The Blues You’ve Been Missin

Copyright 2009 by Joel Lerner

V1- I met a woman

       She’d never heard the blues

       She had a big mansion

       And wore diamond studded shoes

V2- We came from different sides

        Different sides of the tracks

        I said once you’ve seen this side baby

       You ain’t never goin back

C1- I told her it’s the blues you been missin

       It’s the blues you been missin

       It’s the blues you been missin

       Let’s make up for lost time

V3- We hit a honky tonk

        A speakeasy in the day

        That girl she lost her cherry

        When the boys began to play

V4- The lectric guitar was smoking

        The base brought up the back

        The drums beat out their rhythm

        And the vocals were on track

C2- I told her it’s the blues you been missin

       It’s the blues you been missin

       It’s the blues you been missin

       Let’s make up for lost time

V5-That ivory tower’s kept you sheltered

      Sheltered for too long

      We gonna do a little slumming

      And baby that ain’t wrong

V6- You got it good, you’ve had it good

        And baby that ain’t bad

        But you’ve never really lived

        If life ain’t never made you sad

C3- I told her it’s the blues you been missin

       It’s the blues you been missin

       It’s the blues you been missin

       Let’s make up for lost time
