Lyrics The Blues Don't Tell It All - Little Feat

The Blues Don't Tell It All

Like a steamboat floatin' in a wild monsoon
Woulda' had a better chance to see me through
Tails are high and the winds are bearin' down
Cable touchin' cable, live wires on the ground
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
Diamonds rushing by in a pale gray light
Balck thunder rolling with the crack of steel white
Fever runnin' high, spirit ebbin' low
Caught on the highway with too many mile to go
Maladjusted malcontent
Deliberate deception with a wounded heart
Temptation…
Temptation in an empty world
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
It’s a rumored affair
Something cheap in the air
You been playin' for luck
But you always get caught
Double rider on a rain streaked road
Thunder rippin', engine screamin' north
Can’t escape a fool in terror
The kiss of death and now you’re gone
And once again I’m all alone
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
The blues don’t tell it all
