No More Elmore

歌詞

Just after I left school I begin working for living Came home one day From a hard day's digging Went down to my blues collection Just for some peace of mind And I got the word Elmore James is gone Seems like I lost a friend of mine No more Elmore, no more Elmore James No more Elmore, no more Elmore James It's a shame, crying shame No more Elmore James When I was mannish boy When I was in high school My biggest influence was a 45 record Made me wanted to dance The music freaks would gather From all over town 'Til early in the morning We laid the beat on down No more Elmore, no more Elmore James No more Elmore, no more Elmore James It's a shame, crying shame No more Elmore James As I grew older The music grow within me I knew that soon one of these days I'd be out on the road Fronting my own rock'n'roll show We made the people sing We made the people dance True blue music Puts everybody in a trance We kicked in the guitar No more Elmore James When I'm feeling down And all messed up inside Put an Elmore on the box And groovin'n'slip'n'slidin' Elmore, I take him everywhere As I travel down the long road Lord, I hop he's down there I sang at the crossroads At the full of the moon And I know for sure It's true true love that counts And I'm in love, yes Couldn't believe my ears Couldn't believe my eyes Have to go through life Without hearing that slide Take him everywhere I got it on my back As I walk down this long road No more Elmore James No more Elmore James
