I gotta get away,
from here someday.
Soon as I get paid,
I don’t plan to stay.
I got the getaway blues,
I gotta get away from you.
Soon as the rooster crows,
I’m gonna hit the road.
I got the getaway blues.
You can check my gait,
For two days straight.
I’ll take the flatland,
All of the way.
I got the getaway blues.
Gotta get away from you.
Where chilly winds ain’t blowing,
That’s just how far I’m going.
Getaway blues.
I’m leaving you behind,
Can’t get no good grind
Just gotta get away,
And get you off my mind.
I got the getaway blues.
Gotta get away from you.
Don’t know where I’ll be,
Y’all better believe,
I got the getaway blues.
Yeah I’m leaving you behind,
Can’t get no good grind.
Just gotta get away,
get you off my mind.
I got the getaway blues.
I Gotta get away from you.
Don’t know where I’ll be,
Y’all better believe.
I got the getaway blues.
Soon as the rooster crows,
I’m gonna hit the road.
I got the getaway blues.
Where chilly winds ain’t blowing,
That’s how far I’m going.
Getaway blues.
Yeah I got the getaway blues.

You got me feeling awful sad and lonesome.
Feeling sorry for myself.
Let me pour a little whiskey,
And watch the world go by.
You got it raining mighty tears in my poor heart.
Lightning deep down in my soul.
Let me pour a little whiskey,
And watch the world go by.
Watching..
Watching the world go by.
Oh, watching..
I’m watching the world go by.
Oh, I’m watching..
I’m watching the world go by,
Bye bye.
I’m just drinking again,
Watching the world go by.
You got me searching for an answer,
To the question
In the bottom of my empty glass.
Let me pour a little whiskey,
And watch the world go by.
I’m watching..
I’m watching the world go by.
Oh I’m watching..
Watching the world go by.
Oh, I’m watching..
I’m watching the world go by,
Bye bye.
I’m just drinking again,
Watching the world go by.
You got me searching for an answer,
To the question,
In the bottom of an empty glass.
Let me pour a little whiskey.
Let me pour a little bit more whiskey.
Yeah, let me pour my last drop of whiskey,
And watch the world go by.

Ordinary days,
Are better again.
I could feel happy,
With dark clouds and rain.
Watching the grass grow,
Or the sun going down.
Nothing else matters,
As long as you’re around.
Working all day,
And driving all night.
So tired and weary,
With you it’s alright.
I close the door,
And leave it all behind.
Everything is easy,
With you on my mind.
With you on my mind,
With you on my mind,
Everything is easy,
With you on my mind.
With you on my mind,
With you on my mind,
Everything is easy,
With you on my mind.
With you on my mind,
With you on my mind,
Everything is easy,
With you on my mind.
With you on my mind,
With you on my mind,
Everything is easy,
With you on my mind.
With you on my mind,
With you on my mind,
Everything is easy,
With you on my mind.
Yeah, everything is easy,
With you on my mind.

I’ve seen the way you look at how he greets me,
A little too familiar for my kind.
You might envy my appeal,
But what I must reveal is,
He talks about you all the time.
He comes to me whenever he feels lonely.
Loneliness is only a desire.
It’s not love that you observe,
To use such language is absurd,
Because he talks about you all the time.
He shows me photographs of holidays.
With you and the kids that have his boyish face.
And it’s impossible to take your place.
Mine’s a temporary fling,
But you wear a wedding ring.
I am resigned to be the other woman,
Wishing that the love you shared were mine,
But you have and I have not,
I can not loose what I ain’t got
Yeah he talks about you all the time.
He shows me photographs of holidays.
With you and the kids that have his boyish face.
And it’s impossible to take your place.
Mine’s a temporary fling,
But you wear a wedding ring.
I am resigned to be the other woman,
Wishing that the love you shared were mine.
But you have and I have not,
I can not loose what I ain’t got,
Yeah he talks about you all the time.
Even while he’s loving me,
He speaks so delicately,
Yeah he talks about you all the time.
He talks about you all the time.
He talks about you all the time.

Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be alright.
Just because I love you baby,
We are bound to fuss and fight.
I don’t need to hear your worn out lies,
Cause I can se right through it every damn time.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be alright.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be okay.
Just because I love you baby,
I’m obliged to set you straight.
You come home your shirt is wrong side out,
I will be determining your whereabouts.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be okay.
Let’s go back down to New Orleans.
Dance until the early morning.
Laissez les bon temps rouler together.
We can do the Mardi Gras for ever and ever.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be just fine.
Just because I love you baby,
Let me lay it on the line.
I find a number in your telephone,
I’m gonna call that number and make myself known.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be just fine.
Let’s go back down to New Orleans.
Dance until the early morning.
Laissez les bon temps rouler together.
We can do the Mardi Gras for ever and ever.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be alright.
Just because I love you baby,
I’m prepared to say goodnight.
I’ll turn your frown into a smile,
The kissing and the making up make it worthwhile.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be alright.
Just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be alright.
Yeah, just because I love you baby,
Everything’ll be alright.

On a clear delta night,
I can see forever.
Devil moon shining down,
On the big muddy water.
And the Mississippi River,
Got me crying over you.
Cicadas sing sweet,
In the still evening air.
I search thru the stars,
Hope I’ll find you up there.
And the Mississippi River,
Got me crying over you.
She moves you so slowly,
Silent and dark.
But still you remain,
Right here in my heart.
Maybe I’ll float down,
to see you someday.
Let that mean old river,
Carry me away.
It ain’t the blues in the breeze,
Or that old beat-up gin.
Ain’t the crazy red sunset,
Or the mood that I’m in.
It’s the Mississippi River,
got me crying over you.
She moves you so slowly,
Silent and dark.
But still you remain,
Right here in my heart.
Maybe I’ll float down,
To see you someday.
Let that mean old river,
Carry me away.
It ain’t the blues on the breeze,
Or that old beat-up gin.
Ain’t the crazy red sunset,
Or the mood that I’ve been in.
It’s the Mississippi River
Oh, it’s just the Mississippi River.
It’s the Mississippi River,
Got me crying over you.

Rust

My man don’t ever leave me,
He sticks to me just like rust.
My man don’t ever leave me,
He sticks to me just like rust.
Each time he gets to scraping,
Feels just like I am in love.
Rust can stop a freight train,
Rolling down the track.
Rust can stop a freight train,
Rolling down the track.
He pulls into my depot,
I say wooo my daddy’s back
He drinks that low down whiskey,
From a highball glass.
I said he drinks that low down whiskey, yeah,
From a highball glass.
It’s rust that makes him frisky,
And rust that make him last.

Gas Pumping Man
03:50

|
Whenever I need, myself a fill up
When my tank is running low.
I got a repair man with a pick-me-up
Who gets me back on the road
He is my high octane baby.
He makes my motor purr.
I am his hot rod driving lady
We are causing quite a stir.
He is my shade-tree mechanic
He is a good gas-pumping man.
If I’m in the mood to get a top up
His service is most every day.
He tinkers around
My bonnet pops up
He gets my auto on the way
He is my high octane baby.
He makes my motor purr.
I am his hot rod driving lady
We’re causing quite a stir.
He is my shade-tree mechanic
He is a good gas-pumping man.
He is my high octane baby.
And he makes my motor purr.
I am his hot rod driving lady
We’re causing quite a stir.
He is a good shade-tree mechanic
He is a good gas-pumping man, yeah.
He is a good gas-pumping man
Yes he is
a good gas-pumping man
Yes he is
a good gas-pumping man
a good gas-pumping man
He is a good,
My good gas pumping man.

about
What happens when a Delta-bred blues pianist finds herself in a London studio? If you’re Eden Brent, you make the record of a lifetime, Getaway Blues. Tracked remarkably over two short days and backed by top British session pros including in-demand guitarist Rob Updegraff (Jamie Cullum), the nine-song album is Brent’s favorite to date, one that places her firmly among the finest pianists and songwriters in the blues world and beyond.
Highlights include the hook heavy, boogie-woogie brilliance of opening title track, "Getaway Blues," the gorgeous country-soul ballad, "You on My Mind," the double-entendre blast of "Gas Pumping Man," the Mose Allison-worthy "Watch the World Go By," and the N’awlins-channeling, 88s-rollicking vibe of "What You Want." Her first studio album of new material since 2014’s Jigsaw Heart, Getaway Blues opts for the immediate setting of keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums, musical arrangements that can "travel," to quote Brent, and be tour ready.
Yet in scaling back, Brent’s nuanced vocals step up, embracing the emotional truths at the heart of each song. Great performances abound, with compositions as evocative of her Delta upbringing as Jesse Winchester’s once were but with the added sass and humor of Memphis Minnie and vocal persuasion of the finest blues belters. Brent’s husband, British jazz trombonist and arranger Bob Dowell, produced the album while Grammy-feted engineer Matt Ross-Spang gave the record a sharp, intimate mix that befitted the down-to-earth sessions. Decades into a career topped by four acclaimed albums for Yellow Dog Records, Brent – the onetime protégé and touring partner of Greenville, Mississippi, boogie-woogie blues master, Abie "Boogaloo" Ames – is now setting her own standard for others to follow. The resulting musical journey is testament to all that makes the award-winning musician shine as an artist. Road-tested and roots-perfected in taste, chops, and songcraft, Getaway Blues is Brent at her irrepressible best.
