Song lyrics part 5. I wrote this one around 2004. I think it's one of my best lyrics, on top five. It is pretty clear i think, describing the changing world and changing times. Country singer starts to play the blues as a response. This one has been demoed many times, but never properly recorded. One demo was sung by a very good female singer, but i won't release it because i promised not to. 

                                         Country Singer's Blues

 

There ain't no more highways

Where you can let that engine run

There ain't no more cowboys

Who can handle the gun

There ain't no more lightnings

Not grounded by a man

There ain't no more broken hearts

Rain beaten smiling fans

 

You may think this ain't no news

You may have got nothing to lose

But you'll never understand

The country singer's blues

 

There ain't no little towns

Alone on the prairie

There ain't no more wedding gowns

Or man on his knees 

There ain't no more gods

And devils are news

There ain't no more spare parts

For the Baton Rouge

 

You may think this ain't no news

You may have got nothing to lose

But you'll never understand

The country singer's blues
