Intro Verse Fergus sings the blues In bars of twelve or less I'm a stranger to the land To this wilderness Pre-Chorus All Things are possible But happen less and less This Is my country These Are my reasons 'Cause I look in the mirror And it throws back the question And I whisper in words That beg an answer Tell me can this white man sing the blues? Verse Home sick James My biggest Influence Tell Me why James and Bobby purify? Pre-Chorus Lost in music Sweet soul music This is my country These are my reasons 'Cause I look in the mirror And it throws back the question And I whisper in words That beg an answer Yes, I look in the mirror And it throws back the question And I whisper in words That beg an answer Tell me can this white man sing the blues? Pre-Chorus From the north coast to the uplands Stay on the left side of the white lines The campsites over Christmas I still dream of Memphis Outro 'Cause I look in the mirror And it throws back the question And I whisper in words That beg an answer I got the blue, blue world And I see the blue, blue sky I got I got the blue, blue ocean In my blue eye Tell me can this white man sing the blues?
