Soul Fire Blues…Dats Me
[Intro]
[Slow Swampy Slide Guitar Solo]
[Low Gritty Drum Rim-shots]
[Verse 1]
Neon buzzing on a cracked brick wall,
Heavy smoke rising as the shadows fall.
You're running from a ghost in a worn-out coat,
With a bitter taste of trouble rising in your throat.
Chasing a dollar down a dead-end street,
Tell me, brother, can you stand on your feet?
[Pre-Chorus]
The rain is coming, the river is high,
Open up your collar to the stormy sky.
[Chorus]
Let that soul fire burn, let it rage in the dark,
We can strike a light from a single spark.
If the mud is pulling down on your boots tonight,
Reach into the black, we’re gonna find the light. [Verse 2]
I hear the floorboards creaking under your stride,
Ain't no use in trying to find a place to hide.
You're tougher than the iron in a graveyard gate,
Don't you bow your head to a crooked fate.
Look me in the eye, see the man I am,
We're two wild currents in a broken dam.
[Pre-Chorus]
The rain is coming, the river is high,
Open up your collar to the stormy sky.
[Chorus]
Let that soul fire burn, let it rage in the dark,
We can strike a light from a single spark.
If the mud is pulling down on your boots tonight,
Reach into the black, we’re gonna find the light.
[Bridge]
[Guitar Solo Drops Low and Gritty]
Echoes in the valley, grease on the wheel,
This is the only kind of bond that's real.
[Outro]
Hold on tight to the edge of the storm,
Keep the engines running till the blood stays warm.
[Heavy Slide Guitar Outro]
[Fade Out on Gritty Drum Hit]
