Younger Brother Blues

[These are the lyrics to another blues tune, kind of a slow tempo Stones idea]

Turned 12 in ’69, heard Zeppelin and rocked out

Got my t-shirt, tore my jeans

But my brother’d been everywhere ‘fore I was

Had to tell me what everything means

[Chorus]

I got the younger brother blues, Five years behind the times

Yeah, those younger brother blues, Makes me jealous of you everyday

Got those younger brother blues, Watching you sex and drug and rock and roll

Gotta get rid of my younger brother blues, Blow these blues all away

Ain’t no justice’s how it looked to me

So I picked up a Telecaster

Learned how to play some wild chords

My parents screamed, yeah, master disaster

[Chorus]

Made my fingers bleed learnin’ “Stairway”

Smokin’ out made it so much easier

Got some of my boys together, had a jam

You know the girlies made it all so fine

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I know he gave me everything he could

I know he taught me everything he could

I wanted to tell him that I understood

I wanted to show him, if only I could.

[Chorus]

Then my brother packed up for college

Left me all alone, to shine, for the very first time

No more older brother’s shadow, oh yeah, no

Finally rockin’, finally walkin’ and it’s all mine!

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
