Broadway Blues

written by Jake Stilson

Willie I’m ready 

To lay down on Broadway

What good advice

Do you have for me

I’ve been in the whiskey

I’ve been in the valley

Seeking the path that leads

Up to the peak

Rock of ages

burnin sages

fending off my demons in the dark

In the dark dreary mines

of my mind sometimes 

It’s lonely as a dyin’ fires 

last dyin’ spark

I’m ready to raise up

My ebineezer

A rock and reminder 

forgiveness is free

I’ve been going upstream

But making no headway

And Lord it would be nice

If you’d cleft for me
