BOOZE & BLUES !!!

Have you ever utilized the medicinal properties of alcohol to rationalize the complexities of a love relationship that is no longer active, especially, if the ending was not your choice?

FIFTEEN BEERS, written by Roger Dorey, is a self-help guide through this transitional period.

And remember….

You can’t always choose who you love, but, you can always choose what you love.

Why Do They Call It The Blues

Why do they call it the blues
Look out on the dance floor
And get so confused
Primal beats
Possess the band
Spread like a gospel
To every woman & man
Shake their legs
Shake their hips
Grope and groan
Like a death grip
That pagan music
Filled with strife
Resurrect a broken heart
Back to life
It’s a temple!
It’s a temple!
It’s a temple of lust!
No one can resist
Try as they must
Jumpin’ and wailin’
On fire with sin
If they call that prayin’
Where does it end
Wave upon wave
Lawd do believe
Moses oh mercy!
Couldn’t part that sea
How do they strut their stuff
God only knows
Guess if it hurts this bad
Anything goes
The pain and grief
Life puts one through
Goes into remission
When they play the blues

It’s a damn miracle
that’s what it is
A damn miracle
