Got the best tweed Bassman that you ever saw
He's a down home, low down attorney-at-law
He knows his licks so don't you laugh
His beat to shit Strat cost ten grand and a half

Have you heard the news?
He's got the white boy blues
Bought himself a guitar that paid its dues
Jam a little when he gets off work tonight
Singing hey hey the blues is alright

Now the boys from the office are really impressed
When he straps that Strat up across his chest
Stevie Ray videos parts one and two
Studied them both he knows what to do

Member of the local Blues Society
Trying to work his way up to a 12-gauge E

His wife's so proud of how he made it sing
He drank too much but that's a bluesy thing
Wipes down his strings and what's left of his chrome
Throws it in his Turbo Volvo and he heads for home

:beer gotta love the Bottle Rockets.....

Oh yeah, I forgot. Only poor black guys can play blues right?

I guess I should take up classical.

Love those lyrics! Almost sounds like the song was written about me. :eek:

My wife has a Turbo Volvo.
She and I are both "ethnic".
My friends and I don't even really care for the blues.
Even though we all moved out, we grew up in the ghetto.
Can we still sing the blues, maybe? Even though we don't find SRV is so special?

It's all so confusing!!!!

How can I become a stereotype too?

I seriously want to know where I fit in........
