| I was sittin’ in the dressing room with | |
| Brownie Mcgee | |
| He was drinkin’ that milk with that | |
| Dewar’s Whiskey | |
| Said John, there’s nothin’ written anywhere | |
| Suggests the blues will set you free | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| I was ridin’ in the back seat with | |
| Sonny Terry | |
| Little harmonica player used to drive him around | |
| I think his name was | |
| HarryTried to get him to eat tofu, raw vegetables, nuts and berries | |
| But Sonny wasn’t havin’ any of it | |
| He let me share a room with ‘em for a couple of weeks | |
| Sonny slept with his good eye open, staring out from under the sheets | |
| I was young and uncomfortable | |
| I don’t mind tellin’ ya kinda gave me the creeps | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| Don’t know what was so good about ‘em, | |
| I played practically free | |
| I had nothin’ to live up to, everywhere to be | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| On some dates with | |
| Mose Allison somewhere out in the | |
| MidwestSaid some of my lyrics reminded him of the poet | |
| Kenneth Patchen | |
| I took it as a compliment | |
| He was referring to the line about wearin' neon signs on your wounds | |
| Later on I knew what he meant | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| On a date with | |
| John Lee Hooker at a packed joint up in | |
| Washington | |
| He came in with a gorgeous woman on each arm | |
| As I was singing my song | |
| Walked ‘em right up and sat ‘em on the edge of the stage | |
| As I went singing along and that’s called evenin’ son | |
| I’m the headliner | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| I don’t know what was so great about ‘em, | |
| I played practically free | |
| But I had nothing to live up to and everywhere to be | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| Played a gig with | |
| John Hammond | |
| Jr. up in | |
| Vancouver | |
| BCExotic dancer came in my dressing room, started dancing exotically | |
| They were smoking something in the audience that night | |
| Smelled exactly like cat pee | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| Opened up a gig for | |
| Gatemouth | |
| Brown down in | |
| Baton Rouge | |
| He was playing that hillbilly, jazz, cajun, country, zydeco and blues | |
| Throwin’ it out past the walls like some kind of musical centrifuge | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| I don’t know what was so good about ‘em, | |
| I played practically free | |
| But I had nothin’ to live up to everywhere to be | |
| Old days are comin’ back to me | |
| Yeah, old days are comin’ back to me | |
