John Mayall - Padlock On The Blues lyrics

rate me

I got a padlock on the blues <br />

And I got the key to open up my mind <br />

Unlock it what's inside me? <br />

I never know just what I'll find <br />

When it comes to my emotions <br />

I got the blues of every kind <br />

<br />

People ask, "Why don't you sing the blues <br />

With a voice full of gravel and growl?" <br />

I say, "I got my own style <br />

And when I sing you're gonna hear that howl <br />

I got to go with what I got <br />

And what I got won't let me down" <br />

<br />

Sometimes I stop to wonder <br />

What some critics out there would have me do <br />

But beware the green gods of envy <br />

Pay no attention - see it through <br />

That's why I'm depending on you, people <br />

Yes, I mean you and you and you and you
