Intro: Up on north to Detroit South down Fifty-one to Memphis A pistol in his hand There’s many a good man hidin’ in the shadows Just waitin’ to give that boy six feet of land ’Little Robert Dusty’ He’s been stealin’ hearts so easily You should hear him when he sings Double dealing at the crossroads Him and his guitar they say Something’s been playin’ them Chorus: Feeling down in the fingertips Bold good feeling woah oh Like you could die for it And the bird that whistles And the bird that sings And the strong strong heart beatin’ And the stretched out wings "Passion be a memory" she says Lookin’ at the sheets where he used to lie with her Holdin’ a picture she’s livin’ again Things she felt when he played for her ’Little Robert Dusty’ He’s been stealin’ hearts so easily You should hear him when he sings Double dealing at the crossroads Him and his guitar they say Something’s been playin’ them Chorus: Feeling down in the fingertips Bold good feeling woah oh Like you could die for it And the bird that whistles And the bird that sings And the strong strong heart beatin’ And the stretched out wings that he made Won’t so easily won’t so easily fade The talk is he still comes around Hey from Mississippi when your road is dark as night When nothing else gets to your sadness He’s pickin’ up his guitar and he’s feeling it right ’Little Robert Dusty’ And they stole his heart so easily He was singin’ "All my love in vain" Killin’ at the crossroads But him and his guitar they say Something’s still playin’ them Chorus: (## fade to end ##) Feeling down in the fingertips Bold good feeling woah oh Like you could die for it And the bird that whistles And the bird that sings And the strong strong heart beatin’ And the stretched out wings he made Down in the fingertips Bold good bold good feeling woah oh Like you could die for it And the bird that whistles And the bird that sings

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'un jeune homme, un artiste charismatique, qui conquiert le cœur des gens avec sa musique, mais qui se trouve aussi dans un monde de danger et d'illusions. On parle de ce protagoniste, "Little Robert Dusty", qui jongle entre le succès et la menace, ressenti à travers un mélange de passion et de mélancolie. Sa guitare devient une extension de lui-même, offrant une échappatoire aux douleurs et aux tristesses de la vie. Le contexte de cette histoire semble s'inscrire dans les traditions des blues, où l'on explore les luttes personnelles et les routes sinueuses, symbolisées par des lieux emblématiques comme Detroit et Memphis. Ce voyage résonne avec la quête d'identité et d'authenticité dans un milieu où l'ombre côtoie la lumière.
