White Man's Blues Lyrics - Artist : Edgar Winter
You might think bein' white would surely be the best
But it ain't always right when you're whiter than the rest Well maybe there's a curse that yet I haven't guessed Sometimes it's hard to tell if I've been cursed or I've been blessed With the white man blues Ah, did I win or did I lose At least the black man has a brother But for me there is no other Than the white man's blues Ah, you can go out to the beach and get yourself a tan Turn a golden brown like so many other can You got a lot of nerve to call yourself white You take one look at me, you say "They only come out at night" I got the white man's blues Ah, you should see the way I bruise Now the sun don't make me redder But I just can't do no better Than the white man's blues. yeah Well, I got an older brother who looks a bit like me But he's covered with tattoos (not as touched as I can be) Now they say we look like twins, on that I can agree At least I know he understands how crazy it can be To have the white man's blues But I refuse to get tattoos Just ask my Father and my Mother How much I love my brother With the white man's blues, yeah Well, I'm not complainin', I'm really happy bein' me I'm just explainin' so that maybe you can see That if there's something about yourself that has you feelin' stuck Like a friend of mine once told me "Hey Edgar, lighten up" It's just the white man's blues, yeah I wouldn't change if I could choose I'm just another baby boomer At least I've got a sense of humor 'Bout the white man's blues |
