I see her walkin' down
In her pretty dress
The bot comes 'round w/a crate of beer
I feel like a "rude ol" fesse

Raisin' hell now...
Raisin' hell now...

I sing my boogie when the lights go out!
When the lghts go out!

I see her passin' by
In her hi-heel shoes
The boe takes the beer to someone else
We're stuck w/ the same ol' blues

I sing my boogie when the lights go out!
And all we got was

Cold women
Cold women and warm beer
Cold women...
Oh babe i need more

Come now little brother
Spare a dime for me
All my life i wasted here
Gave my soul for free

Raisin' hell now...
Raisin' hell now...

I sing my boogie when the lights go out!
When the lights go out!

And all we got was

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
