about

The first new release from what will be The Ragamuffins as yet untitled 4th (I think?) studio album! Exciting times!!

lyrics

Lord, I despair
i’ve been looking for some hope but there ain’t none there
And I still don’t know what to do
‘cause you dream about a war
That you never had to live through

Lord, Lord help me
I see so many folks that are running on empty
I’m just a sentimental fool who’s playing by memory

Oh no no
I got
Too many blues to shake
Too many blues to shake
I got too many blues to shake
I’m just a heartbeat away from another mistake
I got
Too many blues to shake
Too many blues to shake
I got too many blues to shake
I got the blues and they got me shook
But shaking ‘em loose is harder than it looks
Good God!

Lord, be praised
Know you’re supposed to be working in mysterious ways
Got a weight on my back like I never know
Like somebody wanna reap what they never got sown
Oh Lord, Lord help me
Yeah it feels I’m gonna fold with the hand you dealt me
Another sentimental fool who’s playing by memory
Oh no no

Oh no no
I got
Too many blues to shake
Too many blues to shake
I got too many blues to shake
I’m just a heartbeat away from another mistake
I got
Too many blues to shake
Too many blues to shake
I got too many blues to shake
I got the blues and they got me shook
But shaking ‘em loose is harder than it looks
Good God!

Well I never had a penny to call my own
And my heart feels like it’d on a different time zone
I’m trying so hard to rattle some chains
But my body feels like it got hit by a freight train
There’s dreams I never got tired of chasing
I get no sleep when my mind keeps racing
The roll of the dice never goes my way
And it’s pitch black for seventeen hours a day
It never rains
But it God damn pours
And Lord, Lord it keeps raining on me

Oh no no
I got
Too many blues to shake
Too many blues to shake
I got too many blues to shake
I’m just a heartbeat away from another mistake
I got
Too many blues to shake
Too many blues to shake
I got too many blues to shake
I got the blues and they got me shook
But shaking ‘em loose is harder than it looks
Good God!
