I know it was a bigger one... But...

 

 

Friend Off the Devil:

 

I lit up from Reno

I was trailed by 20 hounds

Didn't get to sleep that night

Till the morning came around

 

I set out running but I'll take my time

A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before daylight

I just might get some sleep tonight

 

I ran into the Devil, babe

He loaned me twenty bills

I spent that night in Utah

In a cave up in the hills

 

I set out running but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before daylight

I just might get some sleep tonight

 

I ran down to the levee

But the Devil caught me there

He took my twenty dollar bill

And he vanished in the air

 

I set out running but I take my time

A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before daylight

I just might get some sleep tonight

 

Got two reasons why I cry

away each lonely night

First one's named sweet Anne Marie

and she's my heart's delight

Second one is prison, baby

the sheriff's on my trail

If he catches up with me

I'll spend my life in jail

 

Got a wife in Chino, babe

And one in Cherokee

First one says she's got my child

But it don't look like me

I use the screen name August West on some sights.

 

I actually named my youngest boy August.

The missus showed keen foresight in not allowing West as a middle name. :wallbash:

 

 

And I'll give a shout-out to Brokedown Palace

I know it is not a Grateful Dead song but this thread reminded me.

 

Eric Clapton wrote and performed "Tears in Heaven" just before he died. He knew he was going. Very sad.

 

As for the Grateful Dead I don't really like them because of all the hippies but I do like the songs "Shakedown Street" and some others.

Eric Clapton died long before "Tears In Heaven". He had been dying for years, and then Dr Death, Phil Collins came along and euthenized him...don't you remember anything?
