[Verse 1]
Ash on my jeans
Grease on my hands
Simple man dreams
With ridiculous plans
Whole block talk
But they whisper my name
I was raised on the Bible
And the hunger for fame
Momma had the blues
Daddy had a fifth
I was in the hallway
Tryna plot a shift
Turned that pain to a stain
On these white tee threads
Now the world want a taste
Of the thoughts in my head
[Chorus]
I’m just a strange blues West Side baby (yeah)
Mud on my boots, heart real shady (uh)
Pray for my soul but the flesh go crazy
(Hit me when you lonely)
Tell me can you save me
Strange blues West Side baby (West Side)
Love so sweet but the talk so jaded (so jaded)
Hands on your waist, all my sins upgraded
(Hush, don’t say nothin’)
Tell me can you take it
[Verse 2]
Big body dreams
In a small house kitchen
Uncle had a scale
Weighin’ every bad decision
I was in the corner
Countin’ every scar
Turned every last doubt
To a brand-new bar
She say she like a leader
With a little bit of dirt
Tongue sharp as a heater
Hand slidin’ up her shirt (shh)
Read between the lines
When I’m talkin’ my talk
I don’t need to spell it out
You can feel how I walk
[Chorus]
I’m just a strange blues West Side baby (yeah)
Mud on my boots, heart real shady (heart real shady)
Pray for my soul but the flesh go crazy
(Hit me when you lonely)
Tell me can you save me
Strange blues West Side baby (West Side)
Love so sweet but the talk so jaded (so jaded)
Hands on your waist, all my sins upgraded
(Hush, don’t say nothin’)
Tell me can you take it
[Bridge]
Tattooed past on a Sunday night
You in my lap at the red stoplight
You say “boy, be good”
I say “define right”
Then bite your lip
And you hold on tight (hold on tight)
[Chorus]
I’m just a strange blues West Side baby (yeah)
Mud on my boots, heart real shady
Pray for my soul but the flesh go crazy
(Hit me when you lonely)
Tell me can you save me
Strange blues West Side baby (West Side)
Love so sweet but the talk so jaded
Hands on your waist, all my sins upgraded
(Hush, don’t say nothin’)
Tell me can you take it
