Little angel, dancing with Elvis and friends at the Rum Boogie Café in Memphis on Friday September 26, 2008. I wrote a song for you.

Am, F, G

Boogie Angel Blues

You know Beale Street’s made enough music
To be played for a thousand years
And on Friday nights the bluesmen
Pour their notes into a thousand ears

So what were the chances
That an angel anchored to earth
Would spread her wings before him
And dance with life for all it’s worth

Her golden hair in the night lights
Shimmered like the morning sun
And when the twinkle of her eyes found him
You know that he became undone

And it hit him like a hurricane
Just like so many years ago
When another little beauty in a red dress
Shook the bottom of his soul

And every atom inside him
Aligned with infinity
And he knew that he had loved her
Throughout eternity

Maybe in another lifetime
Maybe in one yet to come
Fires that keep on burning
Like the surface of the sun

Oh bluesmen, bluesmen tell her
What Blind Willie tried to understand
Flames that burn forever
In the soul of a man

Thank god the music ended
When he found her by his side
Because if he’d wrapped his arms around her
He’d have been pulled out on that tide

And on his homeward journey
To his happy family
She haunted his waking hours
And crowded his memories

But out there on I-40
In the middle of the truckers din
A billboard stands declaring
That adultery is still a sin

And as he came upon it
Blind Willie on radio
Cried out for all the bluesmen
What is a man’s soul?

Ahh, Bluesmen, bluesmen tell her
What Blind Willie tried to understand
Love that spans the ages
Can be the soul of a man

Oh Bluesmen, bluesmen please tell her
What every bluesman knows
Love can live forever
within a mans soul

Well maybe she was sent to remind us
That the measure of a life
Can be a mountain of devotion
In a river of sacrifice

So wait little baby, for another soul
To touch yours in the night
Because it won’t be long, until another man
Is going to love you at first sight

I have a feeling your real soul mate is coming for you soon. Walk well in life little one.

P.S. Drop the cigarettes. The world will be a poorer place without your little feet on the planet. So don’t expedite the process.

Have another round of drinks!

A few more drinks, you'll see another one just like her.
