Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 F#m, E, D)
Woke up this morning, sun glaring in my eyes
Tossed aside the covers, dreams of big city lights
One step at a time, boots hitting the pavement
Chasing that feeling, pure sonic amazement
(Chorus A, Bm, C#m)
Down the Line Blues, the rhythm in my veins
Every strum, every beat, helps to ease the pain
Down the Line Blues, reverberating through my soul
In this great big world, it’s the music that makes me whole
(Verse 2 F#m, E, D)
Walking these crowded streets, guitar strapped to my back
Reflections of neon lights, in a world painted black
Every string, every note, tells a story untold
The echoes of my journey, in the chords that unfold
(Chorus A, Bm, C#m)
Down the Line Blues, the rhythm in my veins
Every strum, every beat, helps to ease the pain
Down the Line Blues, reverberating through my soul
In this great big world, it’s the music that makes me whole
