Description
This is a tribute to all the great jam bands - Grateful Dead, Little Feat, Allmann Brothers, Doctor John (who, of course, is not a band, but a well-known solo performer), all those bands and artists that can play that great shuffle feel - I shoud have mentioned Steely Dan as well (remember Babylon Sisters?)
Lyrics
I've been thinkin' of this city - even though it don't look pretty There's a fever and it chokes me - givin' me the Jailhouse Blues I've no need to be elected - even though I'm not neglected There's an undercurrent that is giving me the Jailhouse Blues And I know it's easy just to sit back and relax And I know it's terrible to suffer And I see the lonesome drifters off the beaten tracks I place my trust in them - cause they've got what it takes Noone's giving me directions - nothing's giving me distractions Things seem positive and yet they're giving me the Jailhouse Blues And the ones who see me with my back against the wall They don't see the distance that I've traveled Don't you realize that I won't heed your battle call I don't subscribe to all the concepts that you teach Noone's giving me directions - nothing's giving me distractions Things seem positive and yet they're giving me the Jailhouse Blues
