about

I was singularly moved by Jimi Hendrix's version of Hear My Train A Comin' on the 12 string. It inspired me to write Pick Her Up on my '69 Gibson B-25-12 Deluxe.

lyrics

My soul is broken In two
While my heart plays the blues

Bills done need payin'
While I'm payin' my dues, yeah, man
Yeah, man

Breaking my back for Uncle Sam, man
While my weeping heart bleeds dry

I can't help it when they come
It moves me
Can I take a break to
Pick her up
Hear her hum
Feel her strum

Every night I
Wake up to play the blues
Here lies the pieces of my freedom
Don't mind me while I play my guitar

I guess it's good for my grief
Takes my world away
Brainstorm chillun'

Where no cries can unfold
You won't know
Unless it's in your bones
Damn right, I got the blues

Every night I
Wake up to play the blues
Here lies the pieces of my freedom
Don't mind me while I play my guitar
I'll go far away
