“Blaze’s Blues” was written for Townes close friend Blaze Foley. Foley passed away in 1989, five years before Van Zandt released No Deeper Blue.
I got a guitar all my own
I got a quarter for the telephone
I ain't headed down this highway all alone
One, two, three, and maybe four
Honey, they're knocking on my door
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Got no daddy, but I got a ma
Think she lives in Arkansas
Maybe I'll go see her some old day
It ain't like she'd really care
It ain't like she'd pay no fare
But I might just blow on through there anyway
Headed down to Alabam'
Cause some trouble if I can
Aw, buddy, would you like to come along?
It's a place I never been
And you know I could use a friend
They say they'll give us twenty bucks a song
I got a guitar all my own
I got a quarter for the telephone
I ain't headed down this highway all alone
One, two, three, and maybe four
Honey, they're knocking on my door
I know I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone
(Ooh, yeah, I'll sit there)
Blaze’s Blues was written by Townes Van Zandt.
