Story Behind the Song
Realizing that most of my failures were alot about the things I do.
Lyrics
Footshot Blues

Ever since I can remember I been walkin' in these shoes
I was born one cold November singing eight bar walkin' blues
Mama just smiled, and told me baby you can't lose

I maybe shoulda known better, but honey what's a child to do
If you can't believe yo mama, then maybe nothin' else is true
I been tryin' to prove her right for so long... yeah I pay my dues

My second ex said get a real job or baby we are through
My third ex said why you always got to sing those blues
My fourth ex said enough when I went back to the booze

Well I made the bed I sleep in cause I got the foot shot blues
I'd be sleepin' by myself the way I live those footshot blues
If it wasn't for my baby had her share of bein' footshot too

Well you know you been footshot when the smokin' gun is you
When anything you want to try messes up because of things you do
If you're your own best friend this make no sense, an you don't buy the blues

I got a brand new friend says 'everybody got to feel the blues'
She got a real good soul, but I just can't believe it's true
I think you gotta be footshot to want to make a livin' singin' blues. (But I still do!)
