Story Behind The Song

They call you a gumshoe, a private eye. In truth you?re just a guitar slinger down on his luck. It?s 1951 and you spend your days chasing down 2 bit punks and no account dames for anybody with enough cash to get you by. Your one passion in life (other than a bottle to make you forget just how low the world has sunk) is your beat up guitar. You take it to the local bar to play with a bunch of other losers just like you. It?s the only time you're free from the nagging feeling that you could be more. They are addicted just like you to the blues and jazz of this beaten down town you live in?the place you?ve come to call? Blue City
