With the gas pedal on the floor, "Down & Dirty Blues" is a rousing acoustic based rocker that accents Shaw’s vocal grit and spotlights Koenig’s rhythmic leads.
lyrics
Down and Dirty Blues
One pillow and a blanket please
gotta get myself out of New Orleans
cold winds got me settled down
but I'm never going to make it out of this old town
Meet a blues man on the corner tonight
said he'd sell me something to make me feel alright
So I bit and he chewed
and now were running down the street with them
dogs on our shoes
Don't get down and dirty
Down and dirty blues
Broken bus on a backseat stuff
You know hell ain't never been enough for me
Always riding that hardest road
Carrying off such a heavy load
Now backdown miss blue jean girl
You never want to get yourself stuck into this world
Find yourself an honest man
Build you up a house just as quick as he can
Don't get down and dirty
Down and dirty blues
Sixty dollar passage on the 203
take you into the night quick and safely
Then your gone and you hold on
pray the lights don't ever come unstrung
For while a soldier is quick to die
a rambling man never bothers to try
Said while a soldier is quick to die
a rambling man never bothers to try
Cause it's a quick joke
a light for your smoke
then its down the next hole
Oh Down Down
The sun ain't never going to come around
