Song Description
Some songs that I write lend themselves to versions in a different genre. This is a country version of 'Rock&Blues...The Rules' and I brought in a great singer and country picker by the name of Dave Laam to do the tracks. Dave is a 40 plus year veteran of country music and knows the sound and feel to make it authentic and he did an outstanding job on this song for me.

Lyrics
Country Blues...The Rules
Verse 1
Hey, look what just walked in the door
Girl of my dreams, crossin' the floor
The guys all said, Don't waste your time
Out of your class, she's way too fine
As she passed by I caught her glance
Thought, what the hell I'll take a chance
Baby, you know I got the tools
Country Blues...The Rules
Verse 2
Maybe I'll win or crash and burn
Women like that, I'll never learn
She's got the rhythm and the moves
There's just no way that I can lose
Dancing like this should be a crime
Holding her body close to mine
Baby, you know I got the tools
Country Blues...The Rules
Bridge
This could be heaven,maybe hell
My head is spinnin' , I can't tell
They say that love, it just ain't fair
Another drink and I won't care
Is she for real or just a dream
Reality ain't what it seems
One thing's for sure, I never lose
Country Blues...The Rules (Inst)
Bridge 2
This could be heaven,maybe hell
My head is spinnin' , I can't tell
They say that love, it just ain't fair
Another drink and I just won't care
Is she for real or just a dream
Reality ain't what it seems
One thing's for sure,..... I never lose
Country Blues...The Rules
Verse 3
Bet you're all wonderin' how this ends
Will we be lovers or just friends
Women like that they're worth your time
Just play their game and walk the line
And let the music fuel your dreams
'Bout country blues and all it means
Then if you've really paid your dues
Country Blues...The Rules
Outro
Cause she don't hang around with fools
Country Blues...The Rules
My baby knows I got the tools
Country Blues...The Rules.....yeah....
Baby knows I never lose
Country Blues...The Rules
Spoken
Who rocks you, baby....
