[Verse]

Down by the river where the shadows crawl

Echoes of a story in the twilight's sprawl

Strings hum softly like a whispered prayer

The blues still lingers in the midnight air

[Verse 2]

Hollowed out guitars with a tale to tell

Foot stomps thunder like a southern spell

Voices raw as earth where the roots still run

A melody rises with the setting sun

[Chorus]

Treasure the blues like a buried gold

A history of fire that can’t be sold

Every note a diamond every chord a fight

Keep it alive in the fading light

[Bridge]

Hands calloused hard from the work of years

Sweat and sorrow stitched in every tear

It ain’t just music it’s the soul’s own cry

The blues ain’t dead it’ll never die

[Verse 3]

From the juke joints loud to the quiet street

The rhythm’s a heartbeat that you can’t defeat

It’s the voice of the people it’s the pain and grace

A mirror to the world and the human race

[Chorus]

Treasure the blues like a buried gold

A history of fire that can’t be sold

Every note a diamond every chord a fight

Keep it alive in the fading light
