Bonnie Raitt Picture
Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

Big Road Lyrics

Bonnie Raitt

Well I ain't goin' down that big long lonesome road
Pretty baby don't you hear me talkin'
No I ain't goin' down that big road by myself
If I can't carrry you baby
I'm gonna get me someone else
Alright boys
Well the sun is gonna shine in my back door some
My back door some, my door someday
You know the sun is gonna shine in
My back door some day
That big wind is gonna come up and blow my blues away
Now if you don't want me baby
Now why don't you tell me
Now why don't you tell me, tell me so
If you don't want me baby why don't you tell me so
It ain't like I'm a woman who ain't got no place to go
Play it right now
Now what good is a bulldog, if he won't fuss or
He won't fuss or fight pretty baby
What good is a bulldog, if he won't fuss or fight.
And what good is a man can't make his wolf stay all night
