I been writing this for a few years it sounds best to me as a shuffle played a little faster but in trying out my new bass I got this funky version hope you like it.
RTZ Oakey 3 string bass
RTZ 4 string Tamjopaintresotar
RTZ Les Paul Cohiba 6 string.
Mic Fleetwood drum loop

Looking For The Blues.

I took a little trip down to missis hip
I was looking for the birth of the blues
My car broke down in this two bit town
thats where my guitar dreams came true

I didnt have a dollar I had a couple dimes
and a 3 string in my hand
I wondered to the shade of the wolworth sign
and i sat down on the ground

do you want the gig do you want to live
that dream youve been dreamin sense you were a kid
it's 20 bucks night Your playings out of sight
you'll be partying and dancing
with the ladies every single night.

Well a man walk by with a gleam in his eye
He Said "Boy can you play that thing"
I said "yes" but he didn't seem impressed
he pushed his hat back and said "let see".

well I played him a song he was signing along
and his toe was a keepin the beat
when I was done he said"kid that was fun
son can i buy you a drink".

so we went to his bar called the rising star
there's the stage " let me turn on the lights
He said my names joe i got a spot in the show
to open up Saturday night".

do you want the gig do you want to live
that dream youve been dreamin sense you were a kid
it's 20 bucks night Your playings out of sight
you'll be partying and dancing
with the ladies every single night.

Well I opened that show, and the way it goes
A pretty little thing caught my eye
Well I played my blues, lookin down at my shoes
Back then I was really shy

When I finished the set, I wiped off the sweat
And I went to find that little lady
She was at a table with joe with and boy don't you know
he turned out to be her daddy

do you want the gig do you want to live
that dream youve been dreamin sense you were a kid
it's 20 bucks night Your playings out of sight
you'll be partying and dancing
with the ladies every single night.

Comment by turtlehead on September 21, 2014 at 3:30pm: SWEET! I wouldn't mind a solo, but it has everything else. A great groove, story and hook on the chorus. I could dance to it. I give it a 10.
