Foghat - Stone blue Lyrics

wind tearin' through the backstreet
I hear the rhythm of my heart beat
rain blowin' to my face
I'm tired of being in the wrong place

blues knockin' on my back door
I can't jump from the second floor
turn up the radio higher and higher
rock and roll music set my ears on fire

when I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through (2x)

laid off work and I can't be free
I need some rock 'n' roll therapy
put on a 45 and let the needle ride
jukebox jumps and I'll be satisfied

when I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through (2x)

oh, let me ride on your mystery train
ride through the night in the pourin' rain
rock and roll in my soul
got me losin' control, let it roll

stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through
when I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through

rock and roll in my soul, got me losin' control
let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll

when I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through (2x)
(stone blue) walkin' on a backstreet
(stone blue) I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat
(stone blue) pick up the beat 'n' start to run
(stone blue) I'll be home before the mornin' sun
(stone blue) rain blowin' to my face
(stone blue) I'm tired of bein' in the wrong place

when I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through (2x)
turn up my radio, turn it up, yeah, higher and higher
turn it up, turn it up, whoo, yeah, higher and higher

you gotta help me through (8x)
when I was stone blue, when I was stone blue
gotta help me through, help me through
