New Scotland Blues - Joel Plaskett

Late October, in a rut

Leaves came down when the wind picked up

Seems to happen every fall

The wind picks up and takes ‘em all

On the 29th, I set the time

Back an hour, drank some wine

Stayed up late, woke up early

With my head so full of worry

Ooh, you stay away from me

I’ve seen what you can do

I play for money but I sing for free

My New Scotland Blues

True regrets, I’ve had a few

But I know I’ve had my way too

In my back pocket, walkin’round

True regrets, they can be found

My true regrets, they travel town

Always walking on a wire

Now I’m worn out, now I’m tired

I’m tired of the push, tired of the shove

I’m tired of the fight and tired of the love

If I sound cold put on some gloves

Are you ready, are you not?

You can’t hide the things you thought

Trying so hard not to blink

I think I’ve had too much to drink

Now I can’t hide the things I think

Ooh, you get away from me

You don’t have a clue

Ain’t nobody gonna change the key

Of my New Scotland Blues

In the basement singing songs

Hear the furnace turning on

Press record and then rewind

Listen back to another time

Remind myself what was on my mind

It sounds like I had too much wine
