From bar to bar <br />I play my life story <br />to the crowd <br /> <br />I play for the people <br />I play for my sanity <br /> <br />I've played <br />for forty years on the road <br />with nothing but the blues <br /> <br />I've lived a full life <br />but a lonely life <br />The hearts I have taken <br />The hearts I have broken <br /> <br />It all comes together <br />in the blues songs of salvation <br />with the pain and the hate <br />of a world in despair <br /> <br />From bar to bar <br />I play my life story <br />to the crowd <br /> <br />I play them the blues <br />the blues of salvation<br /><br />Dave Alan Walker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-words-of-bluesman-jack/
