I used to work on a computer Which watched as I age Taunted by the life I led I sat submerged in rage So I left to find my passion It only took one day I let these 88 keys Blow my blues away
Now I’ve seen the girls of Rio And I’ve tasted their delights I’ve sang the blues in Memphis And I’ve got in drunken fights I’ve been a hundred places I’ll go a hundred more No I don’t want to settle down I want to explore
Oh I’ve always been a wild horse Who nobody could tame They tried to tie me up In big padlocks and chains But I was born free And I won’t be held down I let the speed of the breeze Blow me from town to town
I’ve played to Taiwanese and Spanish Italian and Thai I’ve played the slopes of France And the depths of Uruguay Yeah the road gets rocky Ah but that’s okay I let these 88 keys Blow my blues Blow my blues Blow my blues away
