I'm a slow taker but I'm a fast walker 3X
And no news is good news and your blues is my blues
And what I tell you isn't much of a surprise
They divorced when I was seven
And we didn't waste a tear
He left my mom in fear
But we all grew up and strong
I searched him when I was twenty
Cause I thought I'd love him plenty
But I told him Go To Hell
And ran away
Then I ran into this girl
And we spent a life together
I thought it'd last forever
Then she took the other way
She lost the ring I gave her
But I really guess she sold it
So I scratched her from my arm
And ran away
This time we said 'I Do'
But the baby died inside
All I could was hide
So I left her on the bed
I cried myself a mirror
Then I almost had to puke
I spat into the pool
And ran away
I'm a slow taker but I'm a fast walker 3X
And no news is good news and your blues is my blues
And what I tell you isn't much of a surprise
And no news is good news and my blues is your blues
And what you tell me isn't much of a surprise

I turn around and kick you in the ass
I leave you with yourself and have another glass
I watch you from the corner of my eye
And very much advise you not to try
Guys like you deserve it and are lame
Makes me feel weird and awesome at the same
You find me hangin’ out with just my girl
You’re standing in my back and wave your flag
We know you must be desperate but we don't care
Get yourself together and stop to stare
And take your money, spend it at the corner of the street
But get the fuck outta here and don't bother me
I know it can be easy to find a girl
Those tomcat nights when you’re feeling like a squirrel
But right here, right now is the wrong place and time
Another try and I kick you in the eye
I am ready to fight for my dame
Makes me feel weird and awesome at the same
My lady she's with me and that's for sure
I love her ‘cause she's pretty and mature
And I believe that there is not a blur
Otherwise I wouldn't fight for her
If she leaves me you are not to blame
Makes me feel weird and awesome at the same
So take your money, spend it at the corner of the street
But get the fuck outta here and don't bother me

Never believed in sunshine
Never shook hands with the sun
Never took her for granted
Never took her for fun
Always deceived, never believed
I could find a rose without a thorn
Never looked at smiles
Never trusted a friendly face
Never returned an affection
Never entered the chase
Always deceived, never believed
I could find a rose without a thorn
Your cries and youth
Like pebbles in my shoes
Make me short of clues
Or an acceptable truth
But I'll let you shine tonight
To ease my PERMABLUES
Grew up on the dark side
I'm a child of the moon
I got used to the cold
And grew old way too soon
Always deceived, never believed
I could find a rose without a thorn

Joe Stone New York, New York
Joe Stone & BlackforestBlues
Hailing from the South of Germany - not Bavaria, the other
South, by the river's bend, the BlackForest, the California of Germany, if you will - inspired by the tales of the brothers Grimm and the beat of the Cuckoo Clocks, moving to New York City felt like a punch to his gut. But guitar, pen and paper helped a lot. Brooklyn still kicks his assimilation...
