about

Male/female vocals, funky, New Orleans styled Meters styled song.

lyrics

Don’t take too much
To remember what it’s like to feel so fine
Don’t take too much….
For you to drown your troubles in a glass of wine
Women got their evil ways
Make you only wanna do wrong to yourself
Make a man so crazed
That he starts to worryin’ ‘bout his mental health
But if you look for a while
Start to walkin’ that country mile
You’re gonna find there ain’t no way out
Until you know what it’s all about

Don’t Take Too Much
To think the whole world is doin’ you wrong
Don’t take too much
To know that here & now is right where you belong
Love is truth…(and the truth hurts, baby)
Just like an old gospel song
You got to know when you’ve had enough
Like being in a steam room for too long

When you step in quick sand
And you feel like you’re going down slow
The more you fight it, the more you sink down
Just ride the waves and go with the flow


Bridge:
But it’s like a fish in troubled water
Trying to swim his way up stream
You just might have to go out on a limb (or two)
If you want a find a way to hold on to your dream

Solo

Just a little light
Just enough for you to make it shine
And if it feels right
You’ll know that you did it by your own design
Shuckin’ and a jivin’
Ain’t gonna get you very far
Why don’t you just dive in
And learn to face the music from bar to bar
