Longest Day of the Year, 2021 Blues

Pulled the blackout curtains to keep out the morning sun
Couldn’t get to sleep all night for the sound of the rain-dance drums
Well, I thought I heard some fireworks and I thought I heard a gun.

Lost my job to the COVID, next thing I knew I was broke
Lost my health insurance and the welfare got revoked
Looked up for God in Heaven but the sky was full of smoke.

Looking for a Juneteenth party, wanna get some cherry pie
Looking down at the sidewalk, hot enough for an egg to fry
Listening to the “Walking Blues,” keep walking until I die.
