With all the new self-driving cars, there’s got to be a blues song about a car leaving him….

“Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer.”

“Roadhouse Blues”, The Doors

“Little girl, crushed myyyy dream…

“So I gave her a blast of fiery breath,

“Jus’ to let off a little steam….”

“Nobody gets outta here until they sing the blues”

Dunh-daaah, dah-dunh

If I eat my greens, I won’t get the blues.

Even green dragons get the blues.

I woke up this morning, put on my slippers, walked in the kitchen and died.

-Please Don’t Bury Me, John Prine

“When I woke up this afternoon, I saw both the cars were gone. / I said, When I woke up this afternoon, I saw both the cars were gone. / I felt so low-down bad inside, / I threw my drink across the lawn.” (from Martin Mull and His Fabulous Furniture, dimly remembered 50 years later)

“…call me Dragon Blues….”

Girls are good like that. My wife crushes mine all of the time….

With Karma’s help, Boody was able to get the blues!

(Somehow, this reminds me of the Blue Dragons I read about as a youth….)
