Blown away by the blues licks of
John Watkins–he played with
Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor, and Willie Dixon
Played with
Here he is in a blues bar in my small city
Played with
I think of Darryl, my friend, he played
Arenas with Frank Zappa, Earl Klugh
Now eking out a living playing cruise ships
Played with
Played
The wheel turns–turns for all of us
A wheel in a wheel, in a wheel
There is a big wheel turning the world
We each of us turn in our small wheel
I was up–oh, I was up
My wheel spun off the axle and crashed
Oh, I crashed
It wasn’t a matter of riding high and falling low
I crashed
The big wheel swung me up onto my feet again
The beneficent big wheel
I’ve been riding it upward for years
And my small wheel is turning me towards prosperity
I’m not expecting it to crash
But who does?
