I like to thank the following people whose contributions shaped this song;
Captain Fantastic - Vocals, guitar (2nd solo right side)
Musobass - Harp
Jimbo - Guitar, slide guitar (3rd solo left side).
Someone close to me suffers from depression and he gave me the first 2 lines and the idea (and his blessing) for the song. I wouldn't like anybody to think that I take such a serious illness lightly.
Black Dog blues (c) 2011 toadman
Well I can't get outta bed, I've been living inside my head
Lucky I got room in there to spare
I can't find a groove, I don't wanna even move
Life's fabric is completely threadbare
What's the point of livin' when dying's such a given
What's the point of tryin' when I only feel like cryin'
You heard it girls, you know it men
I got them ole black dog blues again
Some days when I wake up, I know I need a shake up
There's people out there doin' it hard
I know that I've been blessed and I'm ready to confess
I wouldn't know want if it bit me on the a**e
What's the point..........etc
