Текст песни: Crooked Chords + перевод

Sam’s an old blues singer

With a checkered history

Twenty minutes in the spotlight

Twenty years in infamy

The decades flew right past and left him drifting through the haze

Now he’s heading the road a little ways

To an old familiar story in and old familiar keys

Crooked chords on rusty strings

and a borrowed melody

Its hard to tell the singer from the sad old song he plays

He’s heading down the road a little ways

Sam’s a little wiser

And longer in the tooth

His candle burned much brighter when he was in his youth

But he’ll keep on moving to avoid the undertaker’s gaze

He’s heading the road a little ways

World is filled with empty bars

And late night caberet’s

He’s heading down the road a little ways.
