You can do a lot in the studio-double vocals, guitars, special effects. But a band has to deliver the goods live. So here are Mike and the Suspects LIVE.
lyrics
t's been a long lonely road I travel I got holes in my worn-out shoes
the days drag on the nights so long they chill me to the bone
and I just can't shake these blues
don't know where I'm going can't remember where I've been
still I keep on going until I reach the end end of the road
Old Joe shot his woman down because she done him wrong
Joe gonna live forever cause Jimi played that song
ain't that a shame nobody knows that woman's name
ain't that a shame you better win or don't play the game
Back when I had money I had so many friends
the I.R.S. and the banker man put that to an end
then my baby left me and friends all turned their backs
I set off on down the road, and never took one look back
ain't that a shame nobody knows my name
ain't that a shame you better win or don't play the game
It's been a long lonely road I travel I got holes in my worn-out shoes
the days drag on the nights so long they chill me to the bone
and I just can't shake these blues
But I know a better day is coming and I’ll never give up hope
I just gotta keep on going Til I reach the end of the road
end of the road yeah end of the road
