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.

Blue for No Reason Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off Id go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season
Dont ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that youre needin
Why ask why, when all thats true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Now that things have changed
Everythings carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now Im overrun, Im startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Wheres the chance, wheres the fun
Where is the pleasin?
Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just cant find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all thats true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Dont ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that youre needin
Why ask why, when all thats true
Youre just blue, blue for no reason
