Jonny Lang — Wander This World

The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin' down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I'm dragging my feet
And I'll walk 20 more 'cause I don't care
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I'm like a ghost some people can't see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It's like I'm not even there
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I've never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Well.. some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin'
They take it and don't say a word
They don't say a word
Sometimes it's like I don't even exist
I think even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
And the sweats runnin' down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I'm dragging my feet
And I'll walk 20 more 'cause I don't care
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I'm like a ghost some people can't see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It's like I'm not even there
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I've never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Well.. some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin'
They take it and don't say a word
They don't say a word
Sometimes it's like I don't even exist
I think even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone

There is a damn lot of blues in this world for this song to come into rotation.
Let's say you made a big list of every blues song ever made, and you made sure to listen to them essentially in order from best to worst, when you got the chance.
This is not the worst blues song ever, of course, but your grand kids would be working on the list before this tune got its proper turn.
Yeah, Johnny Lang is known as a blues artist, but this song is not blues by any definition that I'm aware of.
Lighten up. He's talented. Sure, he's white and young. So what? He obviously has a love of this music. Would you be happier if he had joined the Back Street Boys?
Well, I have to say I own this album. It's really strong, and good listening. Excellent for a road trip, or background for a party when you have your cool friends over. Somehow, though, I still can't reconcile the fact that a white dude my age is singing blues like this. Unreal. Don't know how I feel about it, but for now I think... 7.
This is the best song on the album.
After much contemplation and serious forethought, I have reached a balanced, equitable opinion.... he 'da man. An 8.
