lyrics
Verse 1
Work every day, still got nothing’ much to show
So, maybe I get dressed up, but then I can’t afford to go
Seem kind of hard to face my daily grind
Lack of inspiration, got too much on my mind
Come on now, cover me, cover me
Help me make my stand
I’m only human and I do the best I can
Shelter me, Shelter me
Give me something good
Something I can hold on to
That’s easily understood
Chorus
The Power, I’m deep in the power
Blues power gonna set me free
I got the power, the bonafide power
Blues Power gonna set me free
Verse 2
The man said; "Sugar for sugar and salt for salt"
If I go down in this flood, it’s gonna be my own fault
Wiser man ain’t never been born
Kept the Blues in his pocket, put a pinch in every song
Come on now, Muddy me, Muddy me
And B. B. me to sleep
I’m Ready Freddy, play your Blues cool and deep
Help me mend my weary soul time after time
Medicine for madness, ease my mind with
The Power
Chorus repeat
Verse 3
Goin’ down to Bluesville
Gonna take myself a seat
Gets me feeling better when I’m tired and beat
Some old guitar be playing out of tune
Doesn’t seem to matter when you’re howling at the moon
Come on now, Cover me, cover me
Help me make my stand
I’m only human, and I do the best I can
Shelter me, Shelter me
Give me something good
Something I can keep, that’s easily understood
The Power
