Walk down 6th Street in Austin Texas just about any night and you will likely hear a tune like this. Heavy blues riffs, singing about the passion, pain, desire, and struggles in life.
lyrics
Come on down to Austin, see what’s going on
Come on down to Austin, see what’s going on
It’s a blues party all night long.
Johnny brought his guitar, we all know his song
Johnny brought his guitar, we all know the song
If you brought your six string come on man jam along.
We’ll play a bluesy gruvin’ tune with passion and desire
About the pain and the struggle in life
There’s nothing like a shuffle makes you get up and dance
So get out on the floor and celibrate life.
