about

Recorded live in one take.. this is actually the first ever performance of the song as it was improved live in the studio... I had written these lyrics and the first song of the first night recording, Kevin Bowes & Michael Dixon began laying down this groove, Jose Granda jumped in on guitar, Robin Whelpley-Menard on sax and then I sang the lyrics I had recently written...Ericson Holt added organ for us later on

lyrics

Lay it all down to die oh lord
Lay it all down to die
Lay it all down to die oh lord
It's all gonna die anyway

My happiness is gone oh lord
My happiness is gone
My happiness is gone oh lord
And it's better this way

My dreams have been foolish dreams oh lord,
My dreams have been foolish dreams
My dreams have been foolish dreams oh lord
So do with me what you will

Your wisdom is far beyond mine oh lord
Your wisdom is far beyond mine
Your wisdom is far beyond mine oh lord
Forgive me for my wanting

The landscape is barren and torn oh lord
The landscape is barren and torn
The landscape is barren and torn oh lord
And I just don't care anymore

There ain't a good woman to be found oh lord
Ain't a good woman to be found
Ain't a good woman to be found oh lord
I'll just be the bad man that I am

My eyes have been ripped from my head oh lord
My eyes have been ripped from my head
Send me my true love oh lord
She shot me and left me for dead

I won't be saying sorry no more oh lord
I won't say sorry no more
I won't be saying sorry no more oh lord
'Cause I got nothin' to be sorry for

Her love was just a wicked game oh lord
Her love was just a wicked game
Her love was just a wicked game oh lord
And I don't wanna play no more

I showed every card in my hand oh lord
I showed every card in my hand
I showed every card in my hand oh lord
I want true love i'm not a gambling man

I won't suffer fools no more oh lord
I won't suffer fools no more
I won't go to be bed with no whore oh lord
I won't count and I won't keep score
