"Muse Blues"

sitting here by the freeway
in an old brown pair of shoes
five dollars in my jeans is all
I got nothing to lose
I see you driving by
and you slow down to a cruise
thats when I know I found my muse

I been around the block awhile
and taken my abuse
several dangerous situations
that I could not diffuse
you might be someone elses girl
I just dont know whose
but I think you could be my muse

you could be so bad for me
but I dont want to accuse
I could be your downfall
i've got no excuse
this sounds like a line I know
I swear its not a ruse
I believe you could be my muse

you can have my worldly goods,
I'll renounce my political views
you wont make me do this
its my right to choose
drop all my bad habits,
smoking, cigarettes and booze
just dont take away my muse

turn off the evening news
sell the fish and the kangaroos
sail away on a weekend cruise
just dont take away my muse

paint the hallway a bright chartreuse
light both ends of my fuse
drop it all in a blackened ooze
just dont take away my muse

I dont mean it to amuse
not trying to confuse
hit me where it wont bruise
just dont take away my muse

swap the rock n roll for blues
I'll pony up and pay my dues
maybe this is over use
just dont take away my muse
