Bluesman moves to Paris with something like a dream
To leave behind his old life and maybe make the scene
It all seemed kind of sudden but everything’s all right
‘Cause he loves to play guitar and he plays most every night
When a Bluesman Moves to Paris
He’s got blues as a second language
He’ll never be misunderstood
Like all ex-patriot bluesmen, he knows to get away
Spend the month of August in Toulouse or Montpellier
Jam until the bars close down – with everyone in sight
‘Cause he loves to play guitar and he plays most every night
Bluesman lives in Paris – they love him as their own
He never lacks for nothin’ – he never sleeps alone
Never make the big time, but everything’s all right
‘Cause he loves to play guitar and he plays most every night
