Original song inspired by my emotional wasteland of a stoic personality. Lyrics by Ron Sprague and arranged by me. Played on a resonator CBG I built with a Lowe Cone and Mojobone Works acoustic biscuit bridge.The joke is that my wife and kids say I have but one feeling. Hungry. Ron took that and ran with it.Hungry BluesAin't no feelin' when you're in my shoesGot no dealin's with sad abuseNothin's lost, you got nothin' to loseFeed my hunger, got the Hungry BluesCall me Stoneface, never shed a tearGotta stone heart, feels once a yearBut my stomach needs its daily duesMornin' to evenin's got the Hungry BluesPeople round me always weep and moanPretty wimmen try to take me homeThey cain't touch me 'til they hear the newsWay to catch me, feed my Hungry BluesNo emotions needed round hereNo sadness, no grief, no greater fearMourning the inevitable, there’s no useJust gotta feel my Hungry BluesNeed no mercy, dontcha criticizeFor my sins. I won't apologizeOnly passion, just the way I cruiseNo slave to fashion 'cept my Hungry Blues
