lyrics

Yes I've been beaten, but I'm not depressed
I've been blessed with this festering ambition I guess
After all of love's admissions have been carved in my chest
by the knives of the nights with a fair maiden's breast

I'm not gettin' rest oh-oh-oh
I'm wide awake oh-oh-oh
I guess that's cause I know
what's at stake

I was driven to madness now I'm driving back
In a red minivan with a bass in the back
there's many things I have, though you I still lack
I crack jokes to myself about it and grab another song from my stack
and I

Blow my blues away
hey-ay-ay
I blow my blues away
hey hey
I blow some of my blues your way
hey

In concert he plays a large catalogue of originals with his band, The Afterburners. ... more
