Tribute to SRV


Stevie Ray Vaughan
1954 - 1990

Voodoo chile standing next to a mountain
Searing rifts flowing through his blood
A tempest brewing in Dallas
Portent of a Texas flood

Honing his craft in Austin
Cold hard steel covered in chrome
One helluva Texas bluesman
Good Lord it's time to get ready for the storm

The house is a rockin'
Whiskey gin and wine
Cocaine and Double Trouble
Caught in the crossfire for a brief time

Newly sober and in step
Onstage with big brother Jimmy Vaughan
Soul to soul with Buddy, Robert , Eric, and God
One more song and then he's gone
