Long Road Blues (Original)

This is my first blues song, as I've made abundantly clear. Be gentle with it, and please forgive my mistakes and simplicity.

Lyrics:
My baby's sweeter than strawberry pie
He tries so hard to interpret all my sighs.
He works hard both day and night,
workin' at the office and workin' me right.

The man's so good.
He does what he should.
The man is good (so good).

My man is faithful, he's sweet, and he's true
but I still got reason to be singin' the blues.
There's a long road between me and my guy
and if I can't see him soon, I'm gonna die.

I know it's useless--not helped by my tears,
but I wish my man were here to wipe away my fears.
So until that day when he dons his travelin' shoes,
I'll be sittin' here, singin' the blues.

@fleshwoundification Hahaha thank you so much! I have a huge blister on my thumb from playing it already, so I'm gonna have to get some calluses back first!

@coopsmusicvision Yeah. That song might've been good if I had a band behind me. Haha. But I'm glad you were amused.

I agree with coopsmusicvision very funny watching all your frustrated faces lol I liked the lyrics and you sound great ...just keep practicing it (another 65,000 timeslol give or take) and it'll be a hit ;)

yeah, blues are hard when you dont have someone with you keeping the timing going, whether it be another guitar playing rythymn or drums or bass it just needs a steady flow.but it was fun watching the frustrated looks you make hahahaha.
