No More Elmore lyrics

Just after I left school
I begin working for living
Came home one day
From a hard day's digging
Went down to my blues collection
Just for some peace of mind
And I got the word Elmore James is gone
Seems like I lost a friend of mine

No more Elmore, no more Elmore James
No more Elmore, no more Elmore James
It's a shame, crying shame
No more Elmore James

When I was mannish boy
When I was in high school
My biggest influence was a 45 record
Made me wanted to dance
The music freaks would gather
From all over town
'Til early in the morning
We laid the beat on down

No more Elmore, no more Elmore James
No more Elmore, no more Elmore James
It's a shame, crying shame
No more Elmore James

As I grew older
The music grow within me
I knew that soon one of these days
I'd be out on the road
Fronting my own rock'n'roll show
We made the people sing
We made the people dance
True blue music
Puts everybody in a trance
We kicked in the guitar
No more Elmore James

When I'm feeling down
And all messed up inside
Put an Elmore on the box
And groovin'n'slip'n'slidin'

Elmore, I take him everywhere
As I travel down the long road
Lord, I hop he's down there
I sang at the crossroads
At the full of the moon
And I know for sure
It's true true love that counts
And I'm in love, yes

Couldn't believe my ears
Couldn't believe my eyes
Have to go through life
Without hearing that slide
Take him everywhere
I got it on my back
As I walk down this long road
No more Elmore James
No more Elmore James
