Don't wanna mow the lawn or sweep the stairs
Don't need no busy work or home repairs
Ain't gonna paint the house or wash the car
The things you said to move can stay where they are
Don't wanna do all these honey do's
Cause all I'm gonna do is play the blues
Don't want no paperwork or filing claims
And I get bored of playing those board games
Ain't gonna organize or file no files
Or put up shelves or sort no piles
Strap on my ax and put my mind on cruise
Cause all I'm gonna do is play the blues
Don't wanna clean the minivan out
You can take the kids to ballet
I'll let you handle the teacher conference
And the meeting with the PTA
You're nagging me to change a million things
But the only thing I'm changing is my strings
For everything else I've got no use
Cause all I'm gonna do is play the blues
I've cut myself off from all earthly bane
I've signed a pact with the mystic
Sworn off the workaday and the mundane
I'm only answering to the artistic
We've only so much time on this mortal coil
So I'm bringing my genius to a rolling boil
Communin' with no one but my muse
And all I'm gonna do is play the blues
So if you're lookin' for me, I'll be out there dealin'
Hittin' and hopin', hollerin' and healin'
My mind is diamond and my will is granite
And I'm boardin' the time machine and leavin' this planet
No time for photos or interviews
Coz all I'm gonna do is play the blues
