The blues musician plays out of dejection
Racial rejection
Keeping the beat
The rhythm of the street
The blues musician plays
Making the groove
The dancers move
Another city, a ride in the van
In a world that doesn’t accept the man
The blues musician plays
The dominant race hears
Unconcerned with his bitter, choked tears
And now new beats reject him again
The audiences age and wane
The blues musician plays
A world of rejection, of dejection
The blues musician plays
