about

I've spent the last 30+ years playing my interpretations of old acoustic Blues. It occurred to me that some folks never manage to break free from the grip of the blues in their life.

lyrics

Hands Full Of Blues By Reggie Miles © 2008 All rights reserved

Gotta heart full of heartache, since you said goodbye
Gotta life full of troubles, and a worriful mind
I gotta pocket full of dreams, and my eyes full of tears
Had my hands full of blues for years

Got ears full of lies, mirrors full of looks
Gotta a voice full of song, a song ful of hooks
Got stories full of rumors, thoughts full of rhymes
‘Bout scratchin’ for a hat full of nickels and dimes

Nights full of tossin’ and turnin’ in bed
Dreams full of nightmares, days full of dread
Gotta mind full of mis’ry, and a head full of fears
Had my hands full of blues for years

Gotta past full of memories I’d like to forget
A future full of mistakes I ain’t made yet

Gotta road full of hazard, a path full of turns
Foot full of lead and a tank full to burn
Gotta motor full of muscle, my tranny's full of gears
Had my hands full of blues for years

I gotta pipe full of crack, a bowl full of weed
Gotta vein full of smack, a spoon full of speed
Gotta bag full of pills, a needle full of meth
Gotta clip full of bullets, a barrel full of death

Gotta belly full of whiskey to ease the pain
A nose full of cocaine drivin’ me insane
Gotta bottle full of courage, my fridge full of beers
Had my hands full of blues for years

Gotta court full of judges, a jury full of peers
Had my hands full of blues for years

Got lips full of guilt, questions full of whys
Gotta sigh full of sorrow, a tongue full of sighs
Gotta soul full of thirst as last call draws near
Had my hands full of blues for years
