Strange Blues - Dead Man's Guitar Lyrics

Here's a tale from a long time ago
Slung over the shoulder of a man we used to know
Being rewritten almost every day
Depends on who decides to come out and play

I'm not talking spirits or fairy tales
More like a history that got lost in the mail
Just hoping you listen for a few minutes more
Unfold the details of an exclusive tour

Playing around with a dead mans guitar
Stare into the distance trying to locate that star
Look for ideas that define your inspiration
Follow the path of your true destination

You may not agree with ideas or ruminations
On the subject of Reincarnation
Just give me a minute
To explore the idea
Try to explain how we ended up here

You cannot deny, the power of the past
All of the influences all the things that last
I'm just suggesting that we pass things along
That is how this ended up in my song

Playing around with a dead mans guitar
Stare in the distance trying to locate that star
Looking for ideas that defy inspiration
Follow the path of a new destination

If you try looking - who knows what you might see
Trying to make sense of what it means to me
Just seems to feel like a guiding hand
I hope one day that you understand

Playing around with a dead mans guitar
Stare in the distance trying to locate that star
Looking for ideas that define your inspiration
Follow the path of a true destination
