lyrics

Here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
I said here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
Trying to get away but they keep pullin’ me back in


Well I went down to Texas but they told me to move on
Said I went down to Texas but they told me to move on
Said, “You can’t play around here boy unless you play that Stevie Ray Vaughan.”


Here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
I said here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
Trying to get away but they keep pullin’ me back in


Well I went to see my baby and I brought here a nice sweet song
Went to see my baby and I brought here a nice sweet song
She said, “If that’s how you think you’re gonna get lucky boy you’ve got me all wrong.”


Here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
I said here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
Trying to get away but they keep pullin’ me back in


So I moved out here to Nashville writing songs for a country star
Moved out here to Nashville writing songs for a country star
They said, “On second thought, you better stick to playin that blues guitar.”


Here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
I said here I am playin’ them 12 bar blues again
Trying to get away but they keep pullin’ me back in

Jhett Black Nashville, Tennessee

Foot stomping rhythms and raucous slide guitar wage war on struggle beneath the bass/baritone howls
of Jhett Black.
After a decade of playing dive bars, the recent pandemic has forced his hands back into
the rural soil of his
youth. The blues, woven into the young man’s heart, pour out with the passionate
performance of an older soul.
