Guru Man Blues - Eric Bibb

If I could know what to do

An' the right time to do it

When to laze around

An' when to get to it

Mama, I’d be a true blue guru man

If l knew how to quit

When I’m ahead

An' stop acting like a crazy fool instead

Mama, I’d be a true blue guru man

If l could know when to stop

An' leave the bottle alone

When to grab my coat an' go on home

I wouldn’t be here in the courthouse now

When I can tip my hat

An' walk out the door

Without having that «just one more»

Mama, I’ll be a true blue guru man

If I could know what to do

An' the right time to do it

When to laze around

An' when to get to it

Mama, I’d be a true blue guru man

I’m gonna tell the judge

I went 'round the bend

Gonna give him my word

It won’t happen again

One day I’ll be a true blue guru man

Just set me free an' I’ll be a guru man
