about

On January 5th we had a house show, and some of the crowd stuck around to join me for the January 2018 song-of-the-month. They sound really, really great backing me up and I think we need less of me and more of them.

I didn't get everyone's names in the credits, so you can message me (if you were there) and want to be listed!

lyrics

You're tired walking dead upon your feet running on fumes and facing heat
And the world has just about got you beat
We've gotta get it back
So come on over kick off your shoes stay awhile and sing away the blues
We've got a choice when we can choose
We've gotta get it back

Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell
Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go

I remember the summers when I was young we used to fish until the morning come
Oh the glories of a rising sun
We gotta get it back
But the sun got lost along the way, the night came and overtook the day But it doesn't mean the night will stay
We've gotta get it back

Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell
Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go

No more fits of rage no more madness no more lying no more hate
No more fits of rage no more madness no more lying no more hate

The folks at the top keep getting you down they roll right in like they own the town
But even they might come around
We gotta get it back
And words of wisdom like being kind and strength of heart and peace of mind
Are bound to work if we give them time
We gotta get it back

Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell
Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go
Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell
Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go
When it does you've got to let it go
When it does you've got to let it go
