[Verse 1]
I've been running and catching freight
Across city lines from state to state
Just workin' my fingers
Down to the bone, well, I've

[Chorus]
I'm the son, yeah
The son of the blues, the son of the blues
'Cause I'm the son, huh
Son of the blues, the son of the blues

[Outro]
'Cause I'm the son
The son of the blues, son of the blues
Son of the blues, son of the blues
Son of the blues, that's what it's all about, yeah
Son of the blues, uh, son of the blues
Son of the, son of the, son of the, son of the—
