Somewhere in this big city a fine young lady's getting dressed

She's going down to the blues club to hear the sounds that she loves best

Modern music just don't move her

Rap and country 'n' all the rest



She's going out all alone to check out a new blues band

Her girlfriends won't go with her, no they just don't understand

That's too bad, but she don't need them

And she ain't lookin' for a man



To her nothing sounds so good as a ringing slide guitar

She loves it slow and deep, and she feels it in her heart

She says "hush, I'm trying to listen"

When men hit on her at the bar



A lady so fine and soulful can still be blue that's for sure

She might make lots of money, but a troubled heart can make her poor

And if blues is her sadness

Then blues music is her cure
