lyrics

03. 12 blues bar

I was sitting at the bar when I opened my eyes
barman said, son, you just died
we ain't got no beer, we don't need no booze
at this here bar, we serve 12 kinds of blues

1 thru 5 you won't get out alive
6 thru 9 you ran out of time
10 & 11 you ain't going to heaven, oh no
you're in the 12 blues bar
you're in the 12 blues bar
you ain't getting far
from the 12 blues bar

I looked at the clock, it had no hands
barman said, this is where time stands
we got nothing but blues up on the shelf
and you ain't moving on til you learn all 12
ch

I asked the barman, what do I do
why and I here, I ain't got the blues
he said it's all just one big test
if you get a head start, you can guess the rest
ch
