Pearl’s Blues

Verse 1
On a dusty road to nowehere
Searching for a sign
Looked up to the heavens
To see a star fall from the sky
Tears in the eye of a hurricane
Can’t get clean in the pouring rain
Pearl’s Blues weighs like a ball and chain

Verse 2
In the cold and quiet morning
Strung high on the bottom line
I found you can’t put off tomorrow
Or give back borrowed time
The bittersweet of sugarcane
There’s a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain
Pearl’s Blues weighs like a ball and chain

Verse 3
On a dusty road to nowhere
Searching for a sign
Looked up to the heavens
To see a star fall from the sky
The tide has turned in the sea of change
Pieces of heart are all that remain
Pearl’s Blues weighs like a ball and chain
Outro adlibs
B-b-baby, B-b-baby, it’s like a ball’n’chain
Nah-n-no Nah-n-no Nah-n-no draggin’ me down
