I had to make a pilgrimage down where my heroes paid their dues I had to make a pilgrimage down where my heroes paid their dues They got guitars for breakfast down at the home of the blues You say you got yo' guitar from a pawnshop, but to me it sounds like symphonies You say you got yo' guitar from a pawnshop, but to me it sounds like symphonies With Miss Annie's cajun 'taters singing strong harmonies I had to make a pilgrimage down where my heroes paid their dues I had to make a pilgrimage down where my heroes paid their dues They got guitars for breakfast down at the home of the blues "Eyes Open Wide" Well, I'm not old, but in my short life, I've seen so much with these eyes Most folks'd close 'em. That's why I keep mine open wide A starved soul can survive, but a rose deserves more sunlight I've seen what'd make men go blind, but I keep mine open wide I've had my heart broken but I've survived to see so much with these eyes Most folks'd close 'em. That's why I keep mine open wide Don't treat me like other guys- I'm woke! & I have been for (many) lives I've seen what'd make men go blind, but I keep mine open wide "Excuses" I've seen some stupid shit in my short life Lots of people dyin' b4 their time Homeless sleepin on the streets without a dime Peace & justice seem in short supply Anything u want- will get u by. If u don't make it, u will get by Anything u say- will get u by. Excuses are what get u thru this life (Yeah) someday u know u'll pay 4 your crimes Call your lawyer on the phone for some advice Your mama called today but you're not around You're out on the street and Karma's comin' down Anything u want- will get u by. If u don't make it, u will get by Anything u say- will get u by. Excuses are what get u thru this life Anything u want- will get u by. If u don't make it, u will get by Anything u say- will get u by. Excuses are what get u thru this life "Eyes Open Wide" Well, I'm not old, but in my short life, I've seen so much with these eyes Most folks'd close 'em. That's why I keep mine open wide "Guitars for Breakfast" I had to make a pilgrimage down where my heroes paid their dues I had to make a pilgrimage down where my heroes paid their dues They got guitars for breakfast down at the home of the blues They got guitars for breakfast down at the home of the blues They got guitars for breakfast down at the home of the blues
