I've known pleasure, I've known pain
I've walked the walk with saints and sinners
I've been addicted, I've been evicted
Rose from the ashes as a winner
I've built careers down through the years
Stood back and watched 'em take the credit
It might have made me a bitter man
But I'm much too strong to let it
It's always a brand new road
Dodgin' the same old stones
Coverin' the same old ground
And what goes around is surely gonna come around
Music's my treasure, music's my game
Manchester to Memphis and London to L.A.
All over the big wide world it's always been the same
Singapore to San Francisco
They all know my name
On the road for forty years,
Nothin' left to lose
The people come to hear us
They love our brand of blues
Payin' tribute to the masters
Big Maceo and ol' John Lee
How they played got in my soul
Became a part of me
