Ahmad's Blues |
| I go through the strangest kind of changes |
| Tryin' to find myself a way to pay my dues |
| And would you believe it, I’m so urban |
| My suburban friends don’t know my bag of blues |
| I’m up in the mornin' on the corner so sedated |
| That you hardly know it’s me |
| And late in the evening when I’m mellow |
| There’s my fellow with the world for me to see |
| Oh, it’s a world full of cocktails at nine |
| Dinners and wine and very late shows |
| And where the crowd goes |
| I’m a girl with a world of her own |
| A queen on her throne |
| Till every thing’s gone and then |
| I wake up to find that I’m a stranger |
| In a world where I have never been before |
| I look for the man who held my hand |
| But now I know that he’ll be coming back no more |
| I’m telling you 'bout this bag of blues |
| It’s payin' dues, but I got news |
| Gimme that, I really want that |
| Speakin' 'bout bag of blues |
| Mister, I’m payin' dues |
| Listen I’m changin' shoes |
| I’m gonna make me some changes |
| I walk in a daze and then I’m back to my apartment |
| Where I’ll grab another wink |
| And doze on the sofa till eleven |
| Then get up and pour myself another drink |
| Then back at the party, I’ll be hearty |
| While waitin' for some better news |
| But now in the meantime |
| I’ll just sit right here and cool it |
| We’re gonna cool it now |
| And listen to the rhythm |
| Ahmad’s blues |
