Block Pulse Legacy

Woke up this morning, sun hanging low in the sky Delta mud on my boots, tears drying in my eyes Work these fields till my hands bled raw Dreams slipping like the river, far from the law Oh, the blues come calling deep in my soul Singing about the heartache, making me hope From the cotton rose to the midnight train Resilience in my veins through the pouring rain Lost my baby to the fever, wind howling through the pines Harmonica wailing, echoing these hard times Boss man's with cracks, but I won't break or bend Carving my story in the dirt till the very end Oh, the blues come calling deep in my soul Singing about the heartache, making me hope From the cotton rose to the midnight train Resilience in my veins through the pouring rain Blue nose spinning like the weight on my chest Guitar strings humming, putting my pain to rest Ain't no quitting in this blood, passed down through the years From the chains of yesterday to tomorrow's fear One day I'll rise up with the dawn breaking free Carry this fire, let the whole world see Hardships my teacher, emotion my guide In the heart of the south where my spirit resides Oh, the blues come calling deep in my soul Singing about the heartache, making me hope From the cotton rose to the midnight train Resilience in my veins through the pouring rain Yeah, the blues Yeah, the blues Yeah, the blues Yeah, the blues Yeah, the blues
