Lyrics Blues Barrel - New Riders of the Purple Sage

Sittin' on a blues barrel
Sick and tired of tryin'
If I ever get a ride again
I'll shake it like a lion
Shake it like a tiger
Shake it like a bear
Shake it like the wind of time
Was whistlin' 'thru my hair

Sittin' on a blues barrel
Finger up my nose
Sittin' on a blues barrel
That's the way it goes

Sittin' on a blues barrel
A pistol in my paw
Gonna be a showdown
Like you never saw

Gonna shoot the lights out
Gonna shoot the floor
Gonna plug the blues barrel
And run on out the door

Sittin' on a blues barrel
Smellin' like a rose
Sittin' on a blues barrel
Moanin' 'bout my woes

Sittin' on a blues barrel
Bleedin' at the heart
Girl I almost married
Just left and took the car

I'm sure gonna miss you
My bright and shining star
But if you don't come back
Babe, at least return the car

Sittin' on a blues barrel
Sleepin' in my clothes
Sittin' on a blues barrel
God almighty knows
