Medicine - Tab Benoit

I think I was born in a shack on the bayou.

I've memories of it

small wooden porch

creak of a rocking chair

the gentle sway of a lantern

crickets so loud they drown out sorrow

or are sorrow

or eat sorrow.

My eyes are the color of silt

and I've the scent of the water in my hair.

They keep telling me

I was born and raised inland

a city dweller

but I cannot reconcile the fact

I do not live where I ought.

My soul has never lived here.

♫I’m losing my mind, babe, the worse things happen I fear
Begging for mercy, there ain’t no connection out here
I’m getting sick of these things that’s going on
My fever’s high, my nights are long
One more shot to do me in

Bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine

A hard times are holding me against y will
I’m so tired that I can’t find my flip
I’m stuck in the middle of the right and wrong
I don’t know what keeps me hanging on
Baby, can’t you see what a shape I’m in?

Bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine

It/s so good when medicine hits my vein
just one time and I ain’t never been the same
People try to find out what’s the deal
All I know is how it makes me feel
Maybe this is pushing incomprehensible

Oh bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine baby♫
