I woke up after breakfast
I left her bedroom late
The streets were filled with strangers half expecting a parade
I never saw it coming
As the first applause began
Then the blues came down on the heels of a marching band
Silver on my fingers
Sugar on my tongue
My father stood behind me and he asked what I'd become
I said I speak a language that you’ll never understand
Then the blues came down on the heels of a marching band
Blues came down
Blues came down
They say that truth and justice
Must be their own reward
I grew rich pretending while the honest all went poor
Don't you play dumb about it
When you're on that witness stand
While the blues came down on the heels of a marching band
