I took a lot of time
To find out something I already know
I went everywhere looking for it
The whole time it was right under my nose

Some things they come real quick
Some things they come real slow
Some things we figure out tomorrow
Some things we won’t ever know

Sometimes you have to leave
To see something in a different way
I had to leave here
To see something in a different way
I know I’ll go away again
But don’t know if I’ll stay

So why am I sittin’ here
Looking around for somethin’ to do
I came back to this country
Because I need a rendez-vous blues.

Words & music: Denny R. Snyder

IWhen I was a young man
One night after dark
I seen Muddy Waters
Sittin’ down with his guitar
He was slidin’
He was slidin’ like no body else
He was slidin’ so good
I had to go get one for myself

J.B. Hutto, Luther Allison & Johny Winter, too
I seen them all slidin’
While they were playing the blues
They were slidin’
They were slidin’ like nobody else
They were slidin’ so good
They taught me to slide all by myself

Twenty years have pased
And most of them are gone
My heros are all dead
But their music lives one
Me I’m slidin’
Just like everyone else
I’ve got to slide real good

I’m tired of embarrassing you baby
I don’t want you to feel used
I know your friends and your family
They can’t see what it is I do
Well I may not have any money
But I’ve got lovin’ just like blues

Now I wake up in the morning
And take my time
You see I need to relax a bit today
Why can’t you see that it ain’t a crime?
I don’t want to hear bad news
I just want lovin’ just like blues

Well I don’t expect you to want me
I never was one for charity
But when you said you was in love
I thought you meant whit me
I never asked for nothin’
Not at the finish
Not at the start
All I want is to be myself
And that’s strait from the heart

I’m not gonna change
After all these years
It ain’t gonna be a luxury cruise
But I do believe you missed the boat baby
‘Cause I found lovin’ … just like blues.

Words & Music by Denny R. Snyder

Well let me tell you somethin’ baby
This is gonna be the last time
The way you’ve been acting lately
It’s bound to be a crime
I ain’t cryin’
It’s bound to be a crime
I do believe you’re trying to do me in
If I’m lyin’ I’m dyin’

Well every time you come home you’ve got a scowl on your face
Then you leave whit your friends
‘Cause you really need your space
It’s bound to be a crime
I ain’t cryin’
It’s bound to be a crime
I do believe you’re trying to kill me
If I’m lyin’ I’m dyin’

Last night I did the laundry
I did the dishes too
When I finished up she said I’ve got some real work for you
You forgot to make my dinner,
You forgot to do the trash,
The front room needs painting
And then you can mow the grass
It’s bound to be a crime
I ain’t cryin’
It’s bound to be a crime
I do believe you’re trying kill me
If I’m lyin’ I’m dyin’

Last week I come home from the road
I had a terrible flu
She wouldn’t call the doctor she said
“There ain’t nothing wrong with you”
But my temperature kept on risin’
I was fallin’ in a chill
“If you don’t bring me some money,
I’ll find a man who will”
I ain’t cryin’
It’s bound to be a crime
I do believe you’re trying to do me in
If I’m lyin’ I’m dyin’

Got the blues about my baby
Man she got the blues about me
Just lately I’ve been thinkin’
‘bout my long time misery
Me I’m just lookin’ for a good time
There ain’t nothin’ but troubles
All in this world I see
I’m singin’ everybody’s blues
‘Cause everybody’s down on me

You know there ain’t nothin’ but troubles
When your woman’s got another man
‘Cause you can’t see them when you want to
You got to see them when you can
Me I’m just lookin’ for a good time
There ain’t nothin’ but troubles
All in this world I see
I’m singin’ everybody’s blues
‘Cause everybody’s down on me

You know I don’t trust the government too much
But my friends they’ve been acting funny too
Don’t ask me nothin’ ‘bout nothin’
I’ll have bad luck just like you
Me I’m  lookin’ for a good time
There ain’t nothing but troubles
All in this world I see
I’m singin’ everybody’s blues

Words & Music by Denny R. Snyder

Blues people call it Rock’n roll
Rock people call it blues
It doesn’t matter which way you go
Just don’t get confused
‘Cause it’s a root thang

Everybody wants to give a name to what it is I do
Me, I’m always just the same
I play just what I choose
‘Cause it’s a root thang

Roots of the blues
Roots of rock
It all comes out the same
If you don’t dig it
It won’t matter to me
And I guess I’ll take the blame
‘Cause it’s a root thang

Words & music by Denny R. Snyder

I ain’t seen my baby such a long time
You know it’s been so long
We don’t know what to do         

Is she happy or is she sad?
Feeling good or gone half mad?
You know it’s been so long
We don’t know what to do

Children cryin’ and runnin’ round
When I get home we’ll all go to town
So don’t worry mama
‘Cause I’m homeward bound

Lately I’ve been running from here to there
One day soon we’re gonna settle somewhere
Find a place we can call our own
And make that place our happy home

I’m tired of talking on the telephone
So tired of talking on the telephone
‘Cause when I hang up
I’m still here all alone

Tired of waiting on the government
Sick of waiting on the government
The government don’t care
If your time is all spent

What you do when I get back
Love me mama give me a heart attack
You know it’s been so long but
We will know what to do

Words & Music by Denny R. Snyder

I’ve got a hole in my pocket
Where all my money goes
Sometimes I make a lot
But always seem to need more

I’ve got a hole in my heart
Where all my love goes
Most times I make a lot
But always want more

I’ve got a woman in need
A new little baby to feed

I’ve got a hole in my tank
Where all my gas goes
The more I fill it up
The faster it flows

I’ve got a hole in my head
Where all my thoughts get drowned
I’ve solved all the world’s problems
But forgot to write them down

I’ve got a woman in need
A new little baby to feed

I’ve got a hole in my shoe
Where all the water goes
If I don’t fix it
Got to get used to livin’ whit it
I got too many holes, too many holes
I’ve got to fix all the leaks
‘Cause I’m leaving in just 2 weeks

Words & Music by Denny R. Snyder

I’ve been to a lot of places
Some I stayed a while or two
It doesn’t matter where you go
It doesn’t matter what you do
You see you’re always a winner
If you’ve got nothing to lose
Just roll the dice another time
‘Cause my bady needs a new pair of shoes

You may wonder why I work so hard
Both in the night and day
Why do I go from town to town
Set up, tear down and play
I’ve got to go away because
There’s peolple everywhere
Who digs the blues
And then I come back with all I can
Because my baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Now don’t think I’m complaining
About paying a few dues
You see just one little smile
Is enough to end my blues
That same little smile
Keeps out there spreading my news
Before I come to your town again
My baby’s going to have a new pair of shoes.

Words & Music by Denny R. Snyder

Well it’s good to be back
But you know I can’t stay here to long
When you’re looking for me
That’s when I’ll be gone

I’ve had a lot of fun everywhere I’ve been
Lots of good people willing to take me in
That’s why it’s good to be back
But you know I can’t stay here to long
When you’re looking for me
That’s when I’ll be gone

I’d like to stay here and hang around
But tomorrow in the morning I’ll be Montreal bound
Yeah it’s good to be back
But you know I can’t stay here to long
When you’re looking for me
That’s when I’ll be gone

I love Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis too
Texas, Montreal and even Kalamazoo
That’s why it’s good to be back
But you know I can’t stay here to long
When you’re looking for me
That’s when I’ll be gone

You might think I’m crazy, I’m just tired and weak
Last night I drove 500 miles in my sleep
But it’s good to be back
But you know I can’t stay here to long
When you’re looking for me
That’s when I’ll be gone

Sometimes I get way off track
But it’s good to be back

Words & Music by Denny R. Snyder

If you’re feeling
Like there’s no love left in your heart
And if you’re feeling
Like your whole world has fallen apart
Just listen up baby
Because there’s one thing left for sure
You can count on me

If you’re thinking -too much
You let others make your mind
But when you listen to your heart
You leave your troubles behind
So don’t you worry
Just let yourself go free
You can count on me

If you’re worried
‘Cause sometimes we’re gonna be wrong
That’s alright now
Because we’ve just got to be strong
So hold on now baby
‘Cause you can count on me

Don’t ever leave me
That’s what I need to hear
When things get hard
That’s when I’ll hold you near
So don’t you forget now
No matter what crosses your mind
You can count on me
