lyrics

Twelve
Copyright © 2017 words and music by Dean Batstone.

12 inches make a foot, yeah
Like the one holding me down
12 months in every year lived
They speed up while I slow down
You know I don’t play blues songs
‘Cept when a blue moon come around

12 pieces of stained glass
In this fancy window pane
12 lines in every stanza
Must be time for the refrain
You know I don’t play blues songs
‘Cause I ain’t much for complainin’

12 feet for 6 men marching
6 guns to keep us free
12 beers in every 12 pack
That’s 8 for you and 4 for me

12 bars in every blues song
‘Cept this one’s got 18
So help me Little Mama
It’s only ‘cause I feel the need
You know I don’t play blues songs
‘Cept when my fingers need the bleed…I bleed

12 reasons for leaving
Not one good reason I should stay
12 steps to your back door,
Baby, don’t get in my way
You know I don’t play blues songs
‘Cept for the one I’m playing today
You know I don’t play blues songs
But if you do me wrong, I may
If you do me wrong I may.
