Tonight’s inspiration comes from Leah at runawaywithmetoneverland. I like her taste in music, and she posts images full of the youthful energy I tap into every time I sit down with my guitar. I definitely want to be a candle that burns twice as bright, even if it means burning half as long. This song deserves a band, especially a drummer; I can imagine what it would sound like in an alternate, cooler universe. Enjoy!

     Hot blooded blues

Hey sweet lady, listen here:
I wanna be with you,
not far but near.
Let’s go down to the lake,
just you and me.
Don’t worry, darlin’,
this secret I’ll keep.

Well, I’m hot blooded,
but you’re treating me cold.
Darlin’, what do you want?
‘Cause I can get it;
I’ll kill if I have to.
No man, machine, or beast
will keep me from you.

Don’t call me crazy
for wanting you.
You got every man with a mind
turning blue.
Others came before,
but they were cold to the touch.
Stop fighting darlin’.
Hush, hush.
