It was a long, long road It was a big deep hole and then the axle broke I barely had time to work up a sweat when my poor Corvette went up in smoke I was glued to the seat, I was dying of the heat Then the water jug spilled right onto the desert sand I got down on my hands and knees and said "Do what you will" There was a voice from the dunes In the noonday sun She handed me a pamphlet Said "Make sure you read it" and started back the way she had come It said - Welcome to Acousticville Welcome to the place where time stands still You can drink your blues neat or on ice You can pay your dues any way you like Welcome to Acousticville It was a big mirage, or maybe her garage just looked like a Motel Six Letras de cancionesShe checked me in over there wearing nothing but her hair and a couple of candlesticks She had long, long teeth It was a huge relief that my door had a chain It was an ordinary bed It had a sign that said "You can steal this stain" Not an outlet in sight, not a lamp, not a light and it was coming on night I was sleeping on the floor when she slithered through the door and whispered "Baby did you lose your appetite" She said - Welcome to Acousticville Welcome to the place where time stands still Ain't no bass, ain't no drums Ain't no waste, just two opposable thumbs Welcome to Acousticville Gary Davis, Sippie Wallace, Furry Lewis Muddy Waters they were laying by the pool Robert Johnson, Libba Cotton, Willie Dixon Charlie Christian and his children, too In between the lotion and chlorine, Jimi Hendrix played a Martin D-18, and we all joined in as he began to scream "Welcome to Acousticville" I had a real good time Good food, good wine I got my appetite back But whenever I told her I wanted to leave, she'd get so mean, she'd peel the paint off a Cadillac "Wait a minute!" I said, "I don't recall being dead, "though I am white as a ghost" She looked me right in the eye Said "You think you're alive, "but baby, God only knows" And that's the thing I love about the blues You can't predict who it is gonna choose but it's an honor that you really can't refuse Welcome to Acousticville Welcome to Acousticville Welcome to Acousticville...
