LYRICS:

I can hear the couple fighting right next door
Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls
Around midnight I hear him shout unfaithful woman
And I knew right there the axe was gonna fall

It's because of me
It's because of me

I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low
He said baby don't you lie to me no more
And I'm listening through these thin walls silently
As he called out my name I was right next door

It's because of me
It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
That she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

At daybreak I hear him back and say goodbye
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
I should go to her but what would I say

It's because of me
It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
That she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

On a scale of 1 to 10..A 10+..let's hear it for the boy..Robert Cray !!

One of the things I really appreciate about Robert Cray, is the completely unadorned nature of his performances. He just shows up on stage in a pair of slacks and a plain long-sleeved shirt, picks up his guitar, and begins to play and sing. No flashing lights, no costumes, no jumping around like a cricket on a hot skillet. Just great musicianship, great singing, and superb songwriting. So refreshing.

Under Credited, underappreciated, under paid. What an absolute legend. As Clapton insinuated - a soulful genius which appreciated music over fame

Robert Cray helped keep the blues alive.
Brilliant vocalist and guitarist extraordinary. ❤❤❤❤

[tracyhall]

Robert Cray is such a smooth and cool dude. An underappreciated blues icon.

[thedude]

Robert Cray is an unbelievable, under rated and under appreciated blues man. He sounds as good now as he did in the 90s.

[jamessharrett]

It's been years and years and I keep coming back.
Who are you bro?

[dariovictor]

Great blues, musician, singer and entertainer.

[elvis-jjsc]

real music unlike what we have today well done mr cray!

[douglasvoncannon]

A soul singer that so happens to be one of the purest guitarist around.

I grew in the Stevie Ray Vaugn error in Austin, Texas and was fortunate enough to get to see some of the best blues any young bass player could hope to see over a lifetime if they were lucky. Always thought Robert Cray was a class act. The blues is the blues, but when you can put your own stamp and signature on your own blues, thats when it's special. Freddy King, Buddy Guy, Stevie, Rober Cray, Albert Collins, were the soundtrack to my story.

So smooth and effortless with those notes both singing and playing. The young generation Z are missing out on real musicians.

[toneseeker]

doesn't rely on pedals nor using pedalboard, just pure guitar and amplifier tone. Love you Robert ❤

[imfeelinggoodnl]

Storytelling on the highest level possible. Such a beautiful song

[reddrw]

Anytime a performer sounds like the recording.
That's real Talent..no bullshit

I just saw Robert and his band in Clearwater last night. Blows me away. It’s been six years between performances and last night was spot on. His guitar is so clean. His voice is amazing. It doesn’t sound as if he’s aged a day. A living legend.

[nungsangmeren]

Long time not heard, takes me back to mid 80, remembering our younger days, now 60 yrs old.

First time I ever saw Robert Cray Band was about 15 years ago when he opened for Buddy Guy. Couldn't have cared less about the headliner, Robert Cray Band stole the show. They were so smooth and so tight, I remember just closing my eyes and taking it all in. It was like I was listening to a CD but with so much heartfelt emotion and dynamics. Robert Cray is a master and without a doubt the best live act I have ever seen.

[MaGhBi]

I just don't get tired of listening.

Saw Robert Cray on this tour in Beaumont, Texas. Every song was worthy of a standing ovation, this man is a living legend no doubt!!
