I've given birth to many things Cloudy nights, slanted rays Set ways, uneven days- Wet it, let it Permeate its hues- Like rock 'n' roll from the womb of the blues
I got a whiskey-drinkin' woman She waits for me around the bend Starts harvesting the plants Now, whenever I drop in We both play mute, 'cause we know Where glowing fingers of the fire play blown wood, like a piano
I've given birth to birds and snails Solar systems that have failed Let it pour, let it roar and pay its dues Like rock 'n' roll from the fertile womb of the blues
