about

I called this album Distillations of The Blues. I don't feel welcome here captures one of the basic blues sentiments.

lyrics

I don’t feel welcome here, and I don’t feel good
I don’t feel welcome and it’s because of yo
I don’t feel welcome here, I don’t feel welcome here

I don't feel welcome here, why don't you know my name
and if it's you again you can expect the same
I don’t feel welcome here, I don’t feel welcome here

What kind of place is this, what kind of friends are you?
You try to act so hip, but who do you fool?
I don’t feel welcome here, I don’t feel welcome here

I don’t feel welcome, I don’t feel good,
there ain’t no neighbors in my neighborhood
I went from ridin’ high to sinkin’ low
sick of seein’ blank stares everywhere I go,
I’ve got to get the hell away from here,
because I don’t feel good and I don’t feel welcome here
My breath is cold and my feet are too,
I feel uneasy and I feel askew
I don’t feel welcome here, I don’t feel welcome here

It hurts me bad, I know it hurts you too,
but you can’t keep sayin’ things that you no ain’t true
I don’t feel welcome here, I don’t feel welcome here

I’ve done some things that I can’t deny,
but to say that I don’t love you would still be a lie
I don’t feel welcome here, I don’t feel welcome here

You can tear me up and you can tar my name,
when you get through it’s the same damn thing,
You built me up so you could cut me low, but I ain’t gonna be your dog no more,
I’ve got to get the hell away from here, because I don’t feel good and I don’t feel welcome here

Ted Hefko and The Thousandaires image

Ted Hefko and The Thousandaires New Orleans, Louisiana

Ted Hefko & The Thousandaires stir up an intoxicating brew of the profound and the profane, of virtue and vice and most importantly the volatile in-between. Ted’s songs explore hope and hustlers, saints and strays, drifters and the down-and-out. The band brings these stories to life with the spontaneity of jazz, and the rough-hewn, bare-bones tone of backwoods rhythm and bllues. ... more
