Old Days - John Hiatt[00:00:00]
I was sittin' in a dressing room[00:00:18]
With brownie mcghee[00:00:20]
He was drinkin' that milk[00:00:22]
With that dewar's whiskey[00:00:25]
Said john[00:00:26]
There's nothin'[00:00:27]
Written anywhere[00:00:27]
Suggests the blues[00:00:29]
Will set you free[00:00:30]
Old days[00:00:31]
Are comin' back to me[00:00:32]
I was ridin'[00:00:35]
In the back seat[00:00:36]
With sonny terry[00:00:37]
Little harmonica player[00:00:39]
Used to drive him around[00:00:40]
I think his name was harry[00:00:42]
Tried to get him to eat tofu[00:00:44]
Raw vegetables nuts[00:00:45]
And berries[00:00:47]
But sonny[00:00:48]
Wasn't havin' any of it[00:00:49]
He let me share a room with 'em[00:00:52]
For a couple of weeks[00:00:55]
Sonny slept with his good eye[00:00:56]
Open staring out[00:00:58]
From under the sheets[00:00:59]
I was young and uncomfortable[00:01:01]
I don't mind tellin' ya[00:01:03]
Kinda gave me the creeps[00:01:04]
Old days[00:01:05]
Are comin' back to me[00:01:06]
Old days[00:01:10]
Are comin' back to me[00:01:11]
Don't know what was[00:01:14]
So good about 'em[00:01:15]
I played practically free[00:01:16]
I had nothin'[00:01:18]
To live up to[00:01:19]
Everywhere to be[00:01:21]
Old days[00:01:22]
Are comin' back to me[00:01:23]
On some dates[00:01:27]
With mose allison[00:01:28]
Somewhere out in the midwest[00:01:29]
Said some of my lyrics[00:01:31]
Reminded him[00:01:32]
Of the poet kenneth patchen[00:01:32]
I took it as a compliment[00:01:33]
He was referring to the line[00:01:36]
About wearin' neon signs[00:01:37]
On your wounds[00:01:38]
Later on[00:01:39]
I knew what he meant[00:01:39]
Old days[00:01:40]
Are comin' back to me[00:01:41]
On a date[00:01:44]
With john lee hooker[00:01:45]
At a packed[00:01:46]
Joint up in washington[00:01:47]
He came in[00:01:49]
With a gorgeous woman[00:01:49]
On each arm[00:01:50]
As I was singing my song[00:01:51]
Walked 'em right up[00:01:53]
And sat 'em[00:01:54]
On the edge of the stage[00:01:55]
As I went singing along[00:01:56]
And that's called[00:01:57]
Evenin' son[00:01:58]
I'm the headliner[00:01:59]
Old days[00:02:02]
Are comin' back to me[00:02:03]
I don't know what was[00:02:06]
So great about 'em[00:02:07]
I played practically free[00:02:08]
But I had nothing[00:02:10]
To live up to[00:02:11]
And everywhere to be[00:02:13]
Old days[00:02:14]
Are comin' back to me[00:02:15]
Played a gig[00:02:36]
With john hammond jr[00:02:36]
Up in vancouver bc[00:02:38]
Exotic dancer came[00:02:40]
In my dressing room[00:02:41]
Started dancing exotically[00:02:42]
They were smoking something[00:02:44]
In the audience that night[00:02:45]
Smelled exactly like cat pee[00:02:46]
Old days are comin' back to me[00:02:49]
Opened up a gig[00:02:54]
For gatemouth brown[00:02:55]
Down in baton rouge[00:02:55]
He was playing[00:02:57]
That hillbilly jazz[00:02:58]
Cajun country[00:02:59]
Zydeco and blues[00:03:00]
Throwin' it[00:03:02]
Out past the walls[00:03:03]
Like some kind[00:03:04]
Of musical centrifuge[00:03:05]
Old days[00:03:06]
Are comin' back to me[00:03:07]
Old days[00:03:11]
Are comin' back to me[00:03:12]
I don't know what was[00:03:15]
So good about 'em[00:03:15]
I played practically free[00:03:17]
But I had nothin'[00:03:19]
To live up to[00:03:20]
Everywhere to be[00:03:21]
Old days[00:03:23]
Are comin' back to me[00:03:24]
Old days[00:03:28]
Are comin' back to me[00:03:29]
I don't know what was[00:03:31]
So great about 'em[00:03:32]
I played practically free[00:03:34]
But I had nothin'[00:03:36]
To live up to[00:03:37]
Everywhere to be[00:03:38]
Old days[00:03:40]
Are comin' back to me[00:03:41]
Old days[00:03:45]
Are comin' back to me[00:03:46]
