Description
My wife and I have been battling health issues lately (hip replacement for her and a cancerous tumor for me). We're mending pretty well, but we have been with a lot of medical people lately.
This was a song I wrote and recorded over a two week period, which for me is pretty fast.

Lyrics
The Tourniquet’s Too Tight
Went to the Doc for a sore on my cheek,
Doctor says, “Let’s take a peek.”
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Riding in an ambulance
Why do I think that there’s no chance?
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
White coats, blue scrubs, everywhere
Red blood coats my underwear.
Roll me in for an X-Ray
Roll me in for a slice today.
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Get me up once ‘round the ward
Is this a treatment or you just bored?
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Charge me for a nice cool drink
Charge me for the soap in the sink.
Time for a test and an I. V.
Back to sleep now you wanna wake me.
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
The doctor's in and he looks me over
I cannot tell if he's drunk or sober
Ooooo, The Tourniquet's Too Tight.
Lead
Accountants and Doctors want their cut
Infusion drugs put me on my butt
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Damaged good when you wheeled me in
Why are you asking who’s my next of kin?
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Too tight, Too tight, Too tight.
Went to the Doc for a sore on my cheek,
Doctor says, “Let’s take a peek.”
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Riding in an ambulance
Why do I think that there’s no chance?
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
White coats, blue scrubs, everywhere
Red blood coats my underwear.
Roll me in for an X-Ray
Roll me in for a slice today.
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Get me up once ‘round the ward
Is this a treatment or you just bored?
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Charge me for a nice cool drink
Charge me for the soap in the sink.
Time for a test and an I. V.
Back to sleep now you wanna wake me.
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
The doctor's in and he looks me over
I cannot tell if he's drunk or sober
Ooooo, The Tourniquet's Too Tight.
Lead
Accountants and Doctors want their cut
Infusion drugs put me on my butt
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Damaged good when you wheeled me in
Why are you asking who’s my next of kin?
Oooooh, the tourniquet’s too tight.
Too tight, Too tight, Too tight.
