The Memphis Blues

Andy, he thought he had found his way
Back to his happy home
He thought he had paid the price
And was free to continue on
Dancing free and easy with his lover
Were the thoughts he focused on
Not knowing he had read his map
Upside down and wrong
When the brick walls he smashed into
And the pit falls he did drop
While he thought he was singing the right song
But now he understands
And is a bit more humble too
As he starts over one more time
And deeply regrets this last tattoo

Oh Mama, Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis Blues again

(My apologies and thanks to Bob Dylan for writing such a great song and unknowingly letting me make it my own. It seemed appropriate at last to identify and have an understanding of a Bob Dylan song)
