This here?s the story
About a man called Stevie Ray
Now I want to tell the story
About a man called Stevie Ray
He was a hard-playing bluesman
That played the blues the Texas way
When I first heard Stevie
His voice was something to behold
When I first heard Stevie Ray
His voice was something to behold
Yeah, he sang just like an old black man
When he was twenty-three years old
Now Stevie loved his women
He loved his Southern Comfort, too
Yeah, Stevie loved his women
He loved his Southern Comfort, too
But what Stevie Ray loved most of all
Was just to sing and play the blues
On his trademark Statocaster,
Oh man, could Stevie ever play
On his trademark Stratocaster,
Oh man could Stevie ever play
Well we ain?t seen nothing like that
since Jimmie Hendrix passed this way
When his bird crash-landed
It was a sad day for the blues
When his bird crash-landed there
It was a sad day for the blues
Yeah, Stevie Ray Vaughn went the way
Of Buddy Holly, Lynard Skynard, too
If there?s one consolation
His music?s loved across the land
If there?s one consolation
His music?s loved across the land
Yeah, there?s a whole new generation
That plays the blues the Texas brand
