Stevie Ray Lyrics

This here?s the story About a man called Stevie Ray Now I want to tell the story About a man called Stevie Ray He was a hard-playing bluesman That played the blues the Texas way When I first heard Stevie His voice was something to behold When I first heard Stevie Ray His voice was something to behold Yeah, he sang just like an old black man When he was twenty-three years old Now Stevie loved his women He loved his Southern Comfort, too Yeah, Stevie loved his women He loved his Southern Comfort, too But what Stevie Ray loved most of all Was just to sing and play the blues On his trademark Statocaster, Oh man, could Stevie ever play On his trademark Stratocaster, Oh man could Stevie ever play Well we ain?t seen nothing like that since Jimmie Hendrix passed this way When his bird crash-landed It was a sad day for the blues When his bird crash-landed there It was a sad day for the blues Yeah, Stevie Ray Vaughn went the way Of Buddy Holly, Lynard Skynard, too If there?s one consolation His music?s loved across the land If there?s one consolation His music?s loved across the land Yeah, there?s a whole new generation That plays the blues the Texas brand
