Dave's True Story "Can't Get You Out Of My System:"

"Who would have thought I would come to such grief
Over some little bucket of tease?

Actually, I think DTS has some of the most consistently interesting lyrics around.

Happy Listening.

"And the 3 men I admire most, the father, son and the holy ghost. Well they caught the last train for the coast, the day the music died. And there were singin' ...."
"Scarlet Begonias"
words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia

[Bridge]

"I don't care if it rains or freezes long as I have my plastic Jesus riding on the dashboard of my car"
From the movie Cool Hand Luke
"This is the night of the expanding man.
I take one last drag as I approach the stand.
I cried when I wrote this song;
sue me if I play too long.
This brother is free, I'll be what I want to be."
