Dave’s Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a feelin'
I'll be headin' down for good
Got that feelin'
I'm never gonna do the things I should
I'm caught in this world
Heaven-sent but hell-possessed
Feeling grey since my black went white
Yes means no, and no means yes
[Verse 2]
I do believe
I finally need a savior at last
I never saw the need before, but now
That time has passed
No ifs, ands, or buts
This old world has kicked my ass
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I alternate
Between fantasy and the cold hard truth
I oscillate
Between the cool and the uncouth, huh
But I resonate
To the piercing eyes of God I saw in my youth
[Verse 4]
Where did He go?
What is He thinking about me now?
Am I a delight to Him or
A little more than a holy cow? Yeah
Moo, moo, baby
Feel I been milked down, brown how now
[Guitar Solo]
