Meantime Blues (Ardent Sessions) Lyrics by Cory Branan

The Ardent Sessions

2009

[Spoken]
Um, let's see, is that timer--
(I'll get some Jack Daniels from my office if you want)
You just said, on the radio, that you have Jack Daniels in your office. Live from Ardent!
I'd- I would love some, if that's where you were goin with that
Alright, Here's a song about writin' songs which is a little bit lame
But I'll just get there with- I'm dating myself here but there's a folk alliance goin' on, three weeks before you hear this
(The alliance!)
You will join the alliance!
So anyway, here's a song about writin' songs
[Verse]
Walking 'round talking down to myself for a fight
Yet another unknown in the famous Memphis night
The old gray sky got the writer's block
Okay, I have the writer's block
The sky's just over it ever as always anew
Well I'm frozen between times, moaning the Meantime Blues
The stacks of old bills, the mounting molehills I dread
It's hard work keeping the roof off of your head
I dream away through the day job, straight home to pay my dues
Rollin my sleeves, have a go at me some Meantime Blues
That old Gibson I sold'll hopefully hold us through winter
It's gonna get cold girl, and I'm going golden with you
Little work on this last verse, then I'll come home for dinner
Reheated dream with some hell, and the Meantime Blues
Right at home in between, find me honing a dream
While I'm moaning the Meantime Blues
After dinner in dishes, I sit down and switch on the TV
And I freeze as the chorus occurs to me:
Rock'll burden coal until the coal begins to sing
Every crushing blow is ever focusing the dream
[Spoken]
Let's see, aw, look at that!
It's like what grandma used to hide in her room to drink
You wanna pass that around?
Oh this is like my own personal little
Who's drivin me back to the..?
