I went searching for Jesus
On a steamy summer night
I came upon a crossroads
That was bathed in a beautiful light
So with squealing tires, I jumped out of my car
There was Robert Johnson playing on his old guitar
Yeah, I swear it happened just like that
I approached him slowly
With my eyes open wide
His guitar was an altar
And I prayed there with all of my might
Oh, I sang his praises and gave him his due
He said, "Hush now, girl, I wanna talk to you"
Do you love the blues?
Like without it, you'll come undone
Do you need the blues?
Like the night needs the setting sun, yeah
The path to salvation is yours to choose
I fell to my knees, I've been saved by the blues
Saved by the blues, yeah, yeah, yeah
I awoke the next morning
My whole world had changed
I look back where I'd come from
And knew never would I be the same
Now when I get scared and I don't know what to do
I hear him say, "Hush now, girl, I wanna talk to you"
Do you love the blues?
Like without it, you'll come undone
Do you need the blues?
Like the night needs the setting sun, yeah
The path to salvation is yours to choose
I fell to my knees, I've been saved by the blues
Saved by the blues, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been saved (I've been saved)
I've been saved (I've been saved)
I've been saved, I've been saved
I've been saved, I've been saved by the blues
Saved by the blues, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been saved, I've been saved
