Preserve The Blues

Lyrics: Rick Barnett
Music: Rick Barnett

Played by Bill Kreutzmann with Backbone in 1997

I try to imagine what it will be like
A hundred years from today
What kind of music will fill your ears
What kind of music will you play
No CDs, records or tapes
Computer chip in your brain
There's no such thing as colour TV
To drive you insane
Do me a favour, whatever you do
Preserve my music, preserve the blues
Do me a favour, whatever you do
Preserve my music, preserve the blues
Preserve the blues
Preserve the blues now

I try to imagine what music will sound like
What kind will you play
Will it be funky, will it be soul
Or will you have some kid of say
No CDs, records or tapes
Computer chip in your brain
No such thing as colour TV
To drive you insane
Do me a favour, whatever you do
Preserve my music, preserve the blues
Do me a favour, whatever you do
Preserve my music, preserve the blues
Preserve the blues
Preserve the blues now

I try to imagine what it will be like
A hundred years from today
What kind of music will fill your ears
What kind of music will you play
No CDs, records or tapes
Computer chip in your brain
No such thing as colour TV
To drive you insane
Do me a favour, whatever you do
Preserve my music, preserve the blues
Do me a favour, whatever you do
Preserve the blues
Preserve the blues now

Preserve, preserve the blues
Preserve the blues
Preserve the blues
Preserve the blues now
