Saved by the blues Born on a bright night, when a priest came runnin in Well He told my mother this story a strange kind of gathering Wel his eyes where like a devils child white turned fire red The man starts to whispher, this is what he said! I remember like it was yesterday, when clouds turned purple blue As the Sun fades behind a shadow, lighting brought the thunder to Well he's said we've got to hurry if you don't want to lose Your boy's soul will be saved, will be saved by the blues Whipe those frozen tears away And Try to make it trought this rainy day And give him the right to choose Buy him this old steel guitar The fire's burning in his heart You ain't got nothing to loose I don't know what to do but i'm saved by the blues Solo Now some 30 years have past and my live will never be the same I was saved by this preacher the strangest thing i can't remeber his name But I'm glad he talked to my mother cause i was walking in death mans shoes But now i'm alive and kicking cause i was saved by the blues I'm alive and kicking I'm alive and kicking I'm alive and kicking I was saved by the blues
