You know the best of times
If I can choose
Were back in the days
When Ronnie sang the blues
No hurry
Listen to that Chevy radio
Hank Williams…Frank Sinatra …Elvis…Fats Domino
And I do declare
It wasn't better anywhere
And my heart lives there
Back when Ronnie sang the blues
We had no fancy phones
But we spread the news
Today's the day
Ronnie sings the blues
Easy…easy as a bird upon a breeze
Then ringin out
Like Glory Hallelujah through the throat of Hercules
And I do declare
It wasn't better anywhere
And my heart lives there
Back when Ronnie sang the blues
That's right
We had no heavy metal chains
No iron cross tattoos
Back in the day
When Ronnie sang the blues
No pyro…kaboom
No Marshall stacks blockin out the moon
No music moguls or Yoko wannabes
Slinking round the dressing room
And I do declare
It wasn't better anywhere
And my heart lives there
Back when Ronnie sang the blues
We spread the news
And I can say that I was there
Back when Ronnie sang the blues
