It's the blues baby, 12 bars that sets up of the stuff that makes us human.
lyrics
Through the rough and tumble jingle jangle mess that is our lives.
Through the deluge and the thunder it's a wonder we survive.
Navigating and translating working with the other guy.
Yes we humans are confusin' but you know we gotta' try.
We don't get no road map when we come into this world.
There's no manual that handles life between a boy and girl.
Not a compass or assembly kit that helps to show the way.
No user guide that helps us glide on through the day to day.
Yeah you make your choices better hope you get it right.
You place your bets, lay down your money and hold on for dear life.
We don't get no road map when we come into this world.
There's no manual that handles life between a boy and girl.
Oh through the web we tangle every angle points another way.
When we abide the great divide 'tween what we do and say.
Try to please the people you can't please them all the time.
Take a chance and maybe please yourself it'll all fall into line.
We don't get no road map when we come into this world
There's no manual that handles life between a boy and girl.
Make a gut decision watch the rest of it unfurl
There's no manual that handles life between a boy and girl.
