Child of the Blues (feat. Mike Mattison)

I didn't know daddy til my twelfth Birthday Four years later I was standing at his grave From his eyes to his nose to the way lived Up in motor city I knew I was his I'm a child of the blues Deep in my soul From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals I'm child of the blues Yes I'm a child of the blues Momma sang gospel with the Harmonettes She left Alabama to give it her best The choir came to see me the day I was my born They said, "Take that baby back, he can't be yours" I'm a child of the blues Deep in my soul From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals I'm child of the blues You know I'm a child of the blues Child of the blues I'm a child of the blues Yes I'm a child of blues Deep in my soul From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals I'm child of the blues You know I'm a child of the blues Child of the blues I'm a child of the blues You know I'm a child just a child From Detroit city down to Muscle Shoals I'm a child of the blues Child of the blues The blues
