Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
Find some land, run for cover
storm is brewing, it's like no other
it's breaking down doors and it's shattering glass
It's coming ashore and it's moving fast
they say it is, it ain't the blues, it's r&b, it's country too
it's just too fast, it's slow, it doesn't flow,
it sounds too new, it feels too old, rockin' but it's funky,
and I hear a bit of punk, I'm the one in these shoes,
And I'm playing the blues, I'm playing the blues
Go ahead and play the blues y'all
I'ma bring the blues, It's gonna pack a punch baby
It's gonna sting but it won't hurt much
get ready people 'cause I'm feeling good
I'm playing the blues like I said I would
they say it is, it ain't the blues, it's r&b, it's country too
it's just too fast, it's slow, it doesn't flow,
it sounds too new, it feels too old, rockin' but it's funky,
and I hear a bit of punk, I'm the one in these shoes,
And I'm playing the blues, baby I'm playing the blues
come on y'all
'Cause I'm the one in these shoes
ohh, I'm the one in these shoes
umm, I'm the one in these shoes
and I'm playing the blues. What it is now.
