When I was a boy about the age of tenGot some old records by the blues menFound a big connection to my lonely lifeI couldn't wait to learn some more about themThe blues hit me deeper than I'd ever knownI knew I'd never be the only one aloneSo special, all those heroesBlind lemon Jefferson, barbecue bobBlind boy fuller and blind blakeThe stories they told about the lives they livedStirred imagination and a heartacheStarted out playin' on an old guitarNow I get to play the blues near and farSo special, all those heroesWhen I was a man about twenty threeI got some Albert Ammons inside me I borrowed a piano and took my timeI thought about another king to guide meYalk about boogie on a pianoThere ain't a man to beat big maceoSo special, all of my heroesThe power of the blues make a lion roarGot my harp growling like an old bearLetras de cancionesSo many guys who ain't around no mereLeft us a magic we can all shareBig bill broonzy and all of his friendsThe joint be jumpin' till the living endSo special, all those heroesThe great muddy waters and howling wolfSaid a whole lot of livin' in a blues songI'd take me all day namin' all the namesSo many fellas who are long goneWe all got the legacy to carry onThe spirit of the blues is gonna live onSo special, all my heroes From Letras Mania
