Lyrics: What I got goin’ for me today’s About as clear as the water in ten killer lake There’s more forest said I plan to take One more burden and my back’s gonna break It’s a dangerous thing, it ain’t no mistake You sunk deep with all your chains and things And boy you look familiar but something has changed A spectacle for beauty but not for your brains I said I don’t know how so but your eyes ain’t the same They’ve grown colder than a winter’s day on the iron range And you heard me say I’d rather die than complain Oh I clinch my teeth through the pain That all you done has finally got you enslaved And I know that times are hard but I hope that you’re safe There’s a price to be paid And mercy ain’t for sale today So come along walkin in the woods near my home Them trails are old and windy but to me they’re well known Won’t you tell me where the hell did you go Before I bury this blade in your bones You know that I’d like to know Before I destroy your soul And what’s that you say Upon the edge of your grave That you only got what you gave You ain’t got no soul left to save You’ve grown shallow as a crest of a broken wave With your dying request On your dying day Cold water cut your life Short like a knife And death crept into the woods that night You stared straight up into the full moon light Them chains were all around you And the locks were pulled tight And you drifted on down, down And outta sight What’s that right there Rising up in the air The gentle wisp of a prayer Bound for heaven at the top of the stairs It’s a pity that I didn’t and I won’t ever care But this is here and now And that was then and there
Still loving all your music Joe! Thanks so much for all of it! You have more talent than nearly all the radio crap out nowadays! Keep at it brother! Hope I get a chance to meet you again somewhere down the road.
