Description
A Chicago style blues with the Drunken Crawfish Band. I would like to thank the fellows for crawling just the right amount on this song. However, due to the advice and counsel of my manager Tom Atwood I have had to fire our drummer Carmine Crawfish and his part has been removed from the song. Not only has Elvis left the building but Carmine also. As for the reason? The band said he just couldn't hold his liquor like the rest of us and was throwing the band's timing off. So I am sure that, as we do, you wish Carmine a full recovery as he enters the Jenna Bush Hospital for recovering alcoholics.

Lyrics
Some people think the rain brings on the blues, they don't realize that it makes their food. And most of us really, yes we really like to eat, So I'm gonna go plant some seeds and wait for the rain to make them grow.
Well I've been busted, and disgusted, yes I was covered with shame.
A young soul in an old body, traveling the road of I'm to blame.
No excuses to be found, just reasons to cry.
I put one foot forward and took another step back, it was all I could do
Right and wrong were running through my mind
No comfort in the day and twisted dreams screaming in the night
Well I held my head high, knowing who I was and what I lacked
And that voice inside my head, that said I should be dead,
I ignored it one more time and kept on keeping on.
Well I've been busted, and disgusted, yes I was covered with shame.
A young soul in an old body, traveling the road of I'm to blame.
No excuses to be found, just reasons to cry.
I put one foot forward and took another step back, it was all I could do
Right and wrong were running through my mind
No comfort in the day and twisted dreams screaming in the night
Well I held my head high, knowing who I was and what I lacked
And that voice inside my head, that said I should be dead,
I ignored it one more time and kept on keeping on.
Tom Atwood
I appreciate the lyrics and sentiment of this laid back
blues. Really enjoyed the pace. I think some other
members of the Drunken Crawfish Band may have been
imbibing, too, but overall it contributes to the unhurried,
no-place-to-go, already-there feel of this piece.
p.s. If I am your manager, the band is in real trouble!
