Meantime Blues (Ardent Sessions)

Lyrics

[Spoken] Um, let's see, is that timer-- (I'll get some Jack Daniels from my office if you want) You just said, on the radio, that you have Jack Daniels in your office. Live from Ardent! I'd- I would love some, if that's where you were goin with that Alright, Here's a song about writin' songs which is a little bit lame But I'll just get there with- I'm dating myself here but there's a folk alliance goin' on, three weeks before you hear this (The alliance!) You will join the alliance! So anyway, here's a song about writin' songs [Verse] Walking 'round talking down to myself for a fight Yet another unknown in the famous Memphis night The old gray sky got the writer's block Okay, I have the writer's block The sky's just over it ever as always anew Well I'm frozen between times, moaning the Meantime Blues The stacks of old bills, the mounting molehills I dread It's hard work keeping the roof off of your head I dream away through the day job, straight home to pay my dues Rollin my sleeves, have a go at me some Meantime Blues That old Gibson I sold'll hopefully hold us through winter It's gonna get cold girl, and I'm going golden with you Little work on this last verse, then I'll come home for dinner Reheated dream with some hell, and the Meantime Blues Right at home in between, find me honing a dream While I'm moaning the Meantime Blues After dinner in dishes, I sit down and switch on the TV And I freeze as the chorus occurs to me: Rock'll burden coal until the coal begins to sing Every crushing blow is ever focusing the dream [Spoken] Let's see, aw, look at that! It's like what grandma used to hide in her room to drink You wanna pass that around? Oh this is like my own personal little Who's drivin me back to the..?
