Alley Blues

© 2016 by Paul W Sacco rev 4-13-16

VERSE 1

Jimmy left the burners on --- driving on the new mowed lawn

shooting up the house till dawn --- screaming down the alley gone

read about him in the news --- chasing down the alley blues


VERSE 2

Jenny’s got it real bad--- left a guy she never had

took him down and let him go--- lost him in a cloud of snow

ran away and left her shoes-- chasing down the alley blues


CHORUS

Don’t stop,  don’t stop, Don’t stop,  don’t stop, Don’t stop,

don’t stop Don’t stop, don’t stop -- you got nothing to lose…

(when you’re) chasing down the alley blues


2 LEADS Paul and Ken (like 2 verses)


VERSE 3

Ash is on a bender now-- think she’s gonna stop somehow

tried to keep her face at work—shakin’ like it really hurts

½ a mile behind the booze-- chasing down the alley blues


CHORUS  --end on the word “blues”
