Once again, Greg Connor has kindly added his wonderful harmonica and Dobro to this song. Thanks so much, Greg! Mean Streak Blues is a song about how wrongly we could deal with frustration….enjoy listening

Lyrics:

Dogs bark all night
My kids scream and whine
My wife is running around
And I’m losing my mind

So you better run and hide
I’m coming after you
I got the mean streak blues
Mean streak blues

I work hard all day
To put food on the table
But I just scrape by
So no more Mister Nice Guy

So you better run and hide
I’m coming after you
I got the mean streak blues
Mean streak blues

So night after night
I pour me a whisky
I sit there by the TV
With a gun on my knee

So you better run and hide
I’m coming after you
I got the mean streak blues
Mean streak blues

Oh yes, this is the stuff. Thanks for the invitation to *"season"* your song a little. It was fun pulling out that old Dobro and bottle neck. This song is just made for it!

Saved!
