Just Playing Along

from Delicious Days by Woody Russell

lyrics

Well it’s good to be back
Nearly ran this thing off track
Good thing we ran it out of fuel
Could’ve burned it all night
And that would’ve been alright
But this morning would feel three times as cruel
So get that business out of here
Got to keep my head clear, got things I need to do before daylight comes breaking through
Sure, I feel a little square
But I’m glad it went nowhere
Though I’m having second thoughts, just looking at you

Could it be this came to me in some kind of dream
With the belly dancer and my favorite song
How does it get so deadly serious
I paint myself into a corner before too long
How does it get so deadly serious
When I’m just playing along

Can’t say that I recall
Much of anything at all
Good thing we had the proper tools
Such a mystery
I’m either very lucky
Or the new King of Fools
So get that business out of here
Do not look back, play it cool, we will sort it out later down by the pool
The evidence is there
No need to overshare
I’m due for a spiritual renewal

I paint myself into a corner
Way too close for comfort

Add then a masterful guitarist - one whom Blues Revue aligned with the "fearlessness" of guitar legend, Jeff Beck. ... more
