I wrote the verses for this bluesy song a few years ago while walkin to and from the bus stops a few times a day in the summer in Phoenix... got a car now, thank god! I just recently wrote the chorus and put it all together... lemme know what you think ;D
"Perfect Man Blues"
Walkin down the street, getting sore feet
Waitin for a man to come and save me from this heat
But not just any man can pick me up
He's gotta have sweet eyes & smiles but still seem kinda tough
And if he has class, likes shootin pool and gets tattoos
Then I know hes gonna take my heart and leave me with the blues
Cuz when the fire ends then the lyin begins
So they say perfect men are best kept just as friends
But then how would I feel like I had ever lived at all
Me and blues been gettin along baby, so bring em on
Now I got a man and... things are goin fine
But I know its just a matter of time before he's cheatin and lyin
But even when its over, you know I wont be down
Cuz you know I aint no stranger to men who mess around
If there's one thing that Ive learned its how to keep a smile
And thats by keepin my men at 15 miles and just keepin them a little while
Cuz when the fire ends then the lyin begins
So they say perfect men are best kept just as friends
But then how would I feel like I had ever lived at all
Me and blues been gettin along baby, bring em on
Guitar solo
Repeat chorus
