I’ve got a touch of arthritis in my hips
got a bird’s eye view of the apocalypse
I’ve got blisters on my fingertips
from trying to hold my life with a real type grip
My ears are still ringing from the gibberish of liars
These shifting sands have worn a lot of tread off my tires
Put some rock and roll on the old Victrola
I need a blood transfusion and a Coca Cola
I want the Holy Ghost to bless my soul,
yeah I need a blood transfusion and a Coca Cola
That’s what I need
I’ve got a swollen nose and a chipped front tooth
had a dust-up down at the kissing booth
Thought true love was calling me
Well it was a case of mistaken identity
I’m not saying I’m self destructive that may be the case
In the dictionary by the word there’s a picture of my face
Put some rock and roll on the old Victrola
I need a blood transfusion and a Coca Cola
I want the Holy Ghost to bless my soul,
Yeah I need a blood transfusion and a Coca Cola
This life’s a waltz on a slippery slope
I’m dizzy and bruised from the rope-a-dope
Tryin’ with all my heart to cope
I keep shiftin’ gears between fear and hope
I need a truck load of faith
An awful lot of guts
A laugh or two from time to time
To keep from goin’ nuts
Put some rock and roll on the old Victrola
I need a blood transfusion and a Coca Cola
I want the Holy Ghost to bless my soul,
Yeah I need a blood transfusion and a Coca Cola
I need it

I woke up this morning, felt about a hundred years old.
I woke up this morning, felt like I was one hundred years old.
Well, it's not about the number of your days,
It's how regret weighs on your soul.
Choose your battles carefully,
There are so few wars worthwhile to wage.
Better pick your battles carefully
There are so few wars worthwhile to wage.
Better think about the fallout,
Every time you fly into a rage.
We teeter on the precipice; act like it's a level mesa land.
Inches from the great abyss, pretending that we got things well in hand.
In the end we're kings of nothin'
And the end always comes quicker than you planned.
Bust out your windows,
Jimmy all your locks,
Listen to the whisper when the Spirit talks.
Lay down your treasure,
Throw away your clocks,
This is hallowed ground, do the spirit walk – spirit walk.
The devil slid up to me, he said “Why don't we have a little chat?”
I got a bit suspicious when he refused to let me take his hat.
He said, “I know about your unfulfilled desires,
I can help you out with that.”
I said, “That's awfully temping, I guess that's the business that you're in.”
“What would you need for payment?” he just looked down with a sheepish grin.
I said, “I think I'll pass.”
He said, “That's okay but I'll be back again.”
It don't take Nostradamus to tell you how the chips are gonna fall.
Open up your Bible, you don't need some gypsy's crystal ball.
The way things are these days,
Even Ray Charles could see the writing on the wall.
Bust out your windows,
Jimmy all your locks,
Listen to the whisper when the Spirit talks.
Lay down your treasure,
Throw away your clocks,
This is hallowed ground, do the spirit walk – spirit walk.
I woke up this morning, grateful that I still was sucking wind.
I woke up today, I was breathing out, breathing in.
Now most people take that for granted,
Man, that's gotta be some kind of sin.
I don't mean to whine and moan, I know some people like to sing the blues.
Not trying to play the victim, like some folks who just love to sing the blues.
But I've learned so much the hard way,
Hope there's something here someone can use.

Life is tough God is good
It’s a shame that we don’t trust in Him
The way we should
Life is tough suck it up
Mercy from the Maker’s meant to fill your cup
We love to filibuster, rail, & scoff
If we shut our mouths we might be better off
We’d begin to hear a still small voice
Lead us through these woods
Life is tough, sure enough but God is good
Sin is sweet for a while
But it’s like trying to make a pet out of a crocodile
Sin is sweet until it’s not,
You see the Venus flytrap has you caught
Hearts so hard that you can’t convince
‘Til we’re choking on our choices
And the consequence
It wouldn’t have to be that way if we understood
Life is tough, sure enough
But God is good
You hear the people say…
Life is tough God is good
All the people pray…
Life is tough God is good
You hear the people say…
Life is tough God is good
Life is short, truth to tell
And it’s not a dress rehearsal so live it well
Life is short don’t you blink
It isn’t going to work out the way you think
It’s a broken world with broken souls
We might not always be happy
But we can be whole
And Jesus hung on the cross
To make sure we could
Life is tough sure enough
But God is good
Then all the people say…
Life is tough God is good…
Life is tough but God is good
It’s a crime that we don’t trust
In Him the way we should
Life is tough so they say
And you never really live it ‘til you give it away
You can call me a fool meet me toe to toe
But I can’t deny this love I know
Not talking ‘bout Santa Claus or Robin Hood
Life is tough sure enough
But God is good

Broken Places

Standing there at the open door
Not quite sure what you’re looking for
Going without knowing what you’ll find
It’s a road of uncertainty
Where it goes isn’t guaranteed
Sometimes this old world can be unkind
But you can’t ever leave My love behind
I’ll meet you in the broken places
In the shadows of your pain
In a sea of stranger’s faces
I will find you, stand beside you
Anytime you call My name
When all your dreams have fallen down
Your longing just to turn around
And someone you can trust is hard to find
You might think it’s been too long
The road that leads back home is gone
But love’s a thing that don’t keep track of time
And you can’t ever leave My love behind
I’ll meet you in the broken places
In the shadows of your pain
In a sea of stranger’s faces
I will find you, stand beside you
Anytime you call My name
When the world has gone insane
When you’re ragged from the strain
Call My name
I’ll meet you in the broken places
In the shadows of your pain
In a sea of stranger’s faces
I will find you, stand beside you
Anytime you call My name
