[Verse 1]
I still remember Miss Bessie singing
Black wrinkled fingers on ivory keys
Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling
Yeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song
[Chorus]
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it
Married to a dream with a mistress named music
[Verse 2]
No hope and squarely solitary
Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind
Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me
Even that cop car rolling past
By the time they hit the front door, I was out the back
[Chorus]
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
That nightlife full of demons is one hell of a ride
I got a crazy, crazy heart and I was born to lose it
Married to a dream with a mistress named music
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
[Bridge]
White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon
Same old boots are still tapping time
Not quite the buzz I used to tie on
But 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song
[Chorus]
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines (Ah, freedom, ooh)
That nightlife full of demons is a hell of a ride (Ah, demons)
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it (Ooh)
Married to a dream with a mistress named music (Ah)
I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music, yeah (Ooh)
[Spoken Outro]
We made the Evangeline vs. Machine album, the main thing for me was we wanted to make an album and we wanted people to sit and listen to that album start to finish as one piece of work. And I have two young boys and I find that in their life right now, music is what happens in the background of the other stuff that they’re doing. And when I grew up music was everything that I was doing. And I still believe in that, I still believe that it’s the most powerful thing in the world. And that is what this record is about and that’s what tonight’s is about, so I wanna say, wanna say thank you for this, thank you for letting us be here and do this
