Thread: Sidewalk Blues lyrics

YouTube - Reloaded - Sidewalk Blues

Over there on the sidewalk sit’s a man with no shoes
But damn it, he can play the blues
In this neighborhood he’s wellknown
As the guy who saved the life of Jackie Joan

He goes by the name of Sidewalk Stevie
And sits there every evening
He used to be a real estate broker
But gambled away his life playing poker

This old man can play and sing
Like John Lee Hooker and BB King
He’ll sing and play you whatever you’d like
Just give him a beer or a Lucky Strike

This guy will never make it on Mtv
Singing ‘bout life in a minor key
But he don't play for fame or glory
He just wanna sing his life story

Around the corner, and up a hill
Sit’s a man with his harmonica, thats Hillbilly Bill
He’s not much for words, his the quiet type
Either blowing his harmonica or smoking his pipe

He had a fancy house and a girl named Sue
But she left him for som lawyer named Drew
He tried to drown his sadness in a vodka-filled river
Unaware of that his sorrow was a very good swimmer.

He sold his house and to rehab he went
It wasn't easy, all his money he spent
Now 8 months sober, still going strong
Just playing his harmonica, Thinking bout what went wrong

This guy will never make it on MTV
Singing ‘bout life in a minor key
But he just wanna express how he feel
Reflecting on life with a melody
