A new Jack White dare-I-say rap style song about my favourite guitar pedal - and it's quite a story!
Guitar - Punch new
Pedal - BLUES DRIVER!
Bass - Violin Bass
Drums - Roland TD-12 V-Drums
I WAS A CITY PICKER CITY SLICKER GUITAR SLINGER LOOKIN' FOR A BRAND NEW TONE.
I THOUGHT I HAD IT HAD A NEW TONE COME AND GO AND THEN GODDAMMIT OH THEN IT WAS GONE.
I WENT ALL ROUND THE WORLD A LOOKIN' IN THE COUNTRIES AN I COULDN'T FIND NONE ROUND THE PLACE.
UNTIL I MET A MAN IN CLARKESDALE AT THE CROSSROADS IN THE NIGHT TIME SAVED MY FALL FROM GRACE.
CHORUS:
BLUES DRIVER - GONNA PUT A POCKET ROCKET IN YOUR GAIN
BLUES DRIVER - BETTER GIT IT RIGHT NOW IN YOUR CHAIN
BLUES DRIVER - NOW WE'RE GONNA ROCK'N'ROLL
BLUES DRIVER - BETTER GET IT IN YOUR SOUL
HE PUT HIS HAND UPON MY SHOULDER FROM HIS POCKET PULLED A LITTLE BITTY BOX OF BLUES.
HE SAID YOU GOTTA GO AND PRACTICE WITH THIS ON YOUR OWN NO CHEATIN' GOTTA PAY YOUR DUES.
I TOOK IT HOME AND LOCK MYSELF IN WITH THIS THING AND PRACTICE ALL THE TIME ALL DAY AND NIGHT.
I FOUND MY TONE NOW I CAN ROCK IT WITH THE BEST AN' NOW I'M GROOVIN' AND I FEEL ALL RIGHT.
CHORUS
I GUESS THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS THAT IF YOU WANNA ROCK YOU GOTTA CHANGE YOUR VIBE.
JUST GET A LITTLE BLUE BOX OFF A GUY IN CLARKESDALE AT THE CROSSROADS IF YOU WANNA JIVE.
DON'T COME TO ME WITH PROBLEMS APERTAINING TO WHY YOU NEVER EVER FIND THAT TONE.
YOU GOTTA GET OUT THERE AND GET IT FIND IT NOW YOU KNOW YOU'RE NEVER EVER ON YOUR OWN.
Words and music copyright Steve Trowbridge January 2015
From forthcoming album "Don't Give Up the Day Job due out Jan 2015.
