    The Greys
    raprite says (27 Jan '13)

    “The Grey’s”

    So many songs
    They got it wrong
    I tell you man
    The list is long
    From BB King
    To Stevie Ray Vaughn
    Play them Blues man
    The way they’ve known

    Well I aint got the blues
    But I got the Greys
    The way that I feel
    On a dark cloudy day
    The color of sadness
    The color of pain
    I aint got the Blues
    But I got the Greys

    Guess right here
    What I’m trying to say
    I got the blues
    Cause that sky is grey
    Need an old blues song
    Playin loud and clear
    Chase them Blues
    Right outta here

    From Elvis Pressley
    To Elton John
    Here them boys sing
    Those sad blues songs
    Blue eyes laughing in the rain
    Momma’s in the ghetto
    Feeling pain
    My shades of blue
    Are turning grey
    Aint got the Blues
    But I got the Greys

That's me! Thank you for putting it to words. Think I may just need a big dose of sunshine to chase them greys away. Thanks Brian.

Righteous lyrics Brian!!!!!! :-)
There's nothing like Blues (and Bluegrass :-) music and so many genres have come from those roots :-)
One of my all time fave songs is "In the Ghetto" by Elvis---LOVE that song :-)

Your right. I love the blues, always have. Check out the new post the River. Weird but these just pop in my head.
