You Left it Behind

from Blind Spot by The Lucky Losers

/

about

A funny, jab for jab duet from a great male/female pair that apply their unusual chemistry and sense of humor to a song /story about touring and leaving things behind, and as a consequence, putting everyone in a predicament.

lyrics

CATHY
Ya can tie a string around your finger
And put a note up on the front door
That says “Remember your harmonicas and please don’t’ panic”
Cause ya left ‘em so many times before

PHIL
Ya well I suspect there is a little blank space
Between those big blue eyes and your skull
But even when we are in real hot water
Life with you will never be dull

CHORUS
Woh no, ya left it behind
Sometimes ya I think ya lost your mind
Your backsliding, ain’t no hiding
Ya left it all behind

PHIL
Remember that time we were in downtown Memphis
And ya left your suitcase on the street
Ya had to sing u on stage in that shiny dress a yours
with flip flops on your feet

CATHY
Remember that time we played at the Zoo bar
You know right there in downtown Lincoln
Ya couldn’t pay the band, ya left your wallet on the bar
I think were drinkin

CHORUS
Woh no, ya left it behind
Sometimes ya I think ya lost your mind
Your backsliding, ain’t no hiding
Ya left it all behind

Chris Burns solo

PHIL
Remember that time we drove a thousand miles
To play a festival way down in Mexico
Ya left your passport in a drawer somewhere
Lord, we didn’t make the show

CATHY
Well what about the time ya lost the hotel key
Had us stranded in a Walmart parking lot
Had the band in the van with 10 bags of groceries
Now that was a hec of a spot

CHORUS
Woh no, ya left it behind
Sometimes ya I think ya lost your mind
Your backsliding, ain’t no hiding
Ya left it all behind


CATHY
Ya can’t loose what you already have
But ya sure can forget what ya got
I just hope ya don’t loose me
Until I get ya to tie the knot

PHIL
Seems like we are a perfect pair
And I really dig the way we can sing
I’d tie the knot in a heartbeat, baby
But I’m afraid ya might lose the ring

CHORUS
Woh no, ya left it behind
Sometimes ya I think ya lost your mind
Your backsliding, ain’t no hiding
Ya left it all behind

Woh no, ya left it behind
Sometimes ya just lose your mind
Your backsliding, ain’t no hiding
Ya left it all behind

Long argument ... kiss and make up ...Ya left it all behind!
