If You Can Play The Blues, You

I Never Said I Was A Genius. I Never Said I Was A Cornerstone. I've Never Said I'm A Legend In My Own Time. You Never Heard Me Say Nothing Like That.

I'm A Firm Believer In God Himself, But That's As Far As I Can Go. I'm Not Any Denomination. I'm Not Catholic Or Presbyterian Or Baptist Or Methodist Or Jewish Or Muslim. I'm None Of Those Things. And I'm Sure That's Just Fine With God.
