The Reverend Double J: Music

Pick Up The Pieces

(J.J. Vicars)

The calm that follows the storm, giveing voice to the soft resolution to go forward and move on. The tired and weary traveler must accept what he's seen and now go his own way. A heartfelt and lamenting solo carries it out. Halfway through mournful slide guitar picks it up and takes it home until both guitars dovetail out seamlessly at the end.

Take a look around one last time
Don't want nothin' left behind
Those days are over
I'm leaving once again
I'm gettin' outta here
Be seein' you my friend

I was sleepin' in the gutter
Out in the street
Tryin' to raise a dollar
To get back on my feet
Been up and down
So long I can't remember
Feels like I've been drifting forever

I was hitchin' a ride
Had no money to my name
Grinding my gears
And feeling just the same
Feelin' down
'Cause I didn't have no girl
Sometimes it was just me against the world

Ain't too late to try it again
Tomorrow's another day
Leave the past buried where it belongs
Sometimes there's nothin' more to say
Pick up the pieces and keep rollin' on
You know when your time is through
Make a new beginning
Do what you gotta do
