Feenix Music
Written by George "Jay" Spurling
I was broken, my soul in pieces on the ground...
Lord I was broken, my soul in pieces on the ground...
No matter where I searched, nuthin' but sorrow I found.
I had a woman, jus' couldn't keep her satisfied...
I had a woman, jus' couldn't keep her satisfied...
To tell y'all the truth, I don' believe I ever tried.
(Chorus:)
Like a Phoenix I'll rise, higher than the sky I will fly...
from the ashes, from the ashes like a phoenix I will rise.
From the ashes, from the ashes...I will rise.
(End Chorus)
I gotta ramble, hand me down my walkin' shoes...
I gotta ramble, hand me down my walkin' shoes...
Don' matter where I'm headed, it's fo' sho' I'll fin' the blues.
Maybe I'll mosey down the Bayou, grab myself a little rest...
Maybe I'll mosey down the Bayou, grab myself a little rest...
Then go rig man on a shrimp boat, work my way down to Key West.
(Repeat Chorus)
Get my ol' Strat out o' the pawn shop, grab some new strings and some picks...
Get my ol' Strat out o' the pawn shop, grab some new strings and some picks...
gonna join up with a Blues band, dust off some o' my ol' licks.
When I feel the Blues flow through me, I begin to come alive...
When I feel the Blues flow through me, I begin to come alive...
Then my soul begins to soar, and from the ashes I rise
(Repeat Chorus and Lead Guitar out.)
