Medicine

Tab Benoit Medicine Lyrics
1.Medicine

Lyricist:Tab Adam Benoit, Anders Osborne

I'm losing my mind, babe, the worse things happen I fear
Begging for mercy, there ain't no connection out here
I'm getting sick of these things that's going on
My fever's high, my nights are long
One more shot to do me in

Bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine

A hard times are holding me against my will
I'm so tired that I can't find my flip
I'm stuck in the middle of the right and wrong
I don't know what keeps me hanging on
Baby, can't you see what a shape I'm in?

Bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine
Yeah, yeah, my baby, hey

It's so good when medicine hits my vein
Just one time and I ain't never been the same
People try to find out what's the deal
All I know is how it makes me feel

Oh, bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine, baby

Losing my mind, babe, the worse things happen I fear
Begging for mercy, there ain't no connection out here
I'm getting sick of these things that's going on
My fever's high, my nights are long
One more shot could do me in, baby

Bring me my medicine
Bring me my medicine
Oh baby, oh babe, oh babe, oh


2.Sunrise

Lyricist:Tab Adam Benoit, Anders Osborne

I watch the sunrise alone again
And I'm beginning to think that that's my only friend
You find me every day, keep me warm
Yes, that's the only thing I can always count on

With your eyes in the sky
As you travel 'round this world
You're the only one that can find my girl
And when you do tell her I love her

I'm thinking of her and I was wrong
We've been fighting over nothing
Shine your light longer
So she could find her way back home

With your eyes up in the sky
As you travel 'round this world
I say you're the only one that can find my girl
And when you do tell her I love her

That I'm thinking of her and I was wrong
We've been fighting over nothing
Shine your light, baby
So she could find her way back home


3.A Whole Lotta Soul

Lyricist:Tab Adam Benoit, Anders Osborne

What's the matter with the place we live in?
Did Mother Nature get it wrong?
A rusted delta in the name of changing
And dig it till it's dead and gone

Oh, what you gonna tell the children
What you gonna tell the trees
What you gonna tell the spirit
When the heart of the bayou bleed?

Well, there's a whole lotta something around here
There's been a whole lotta giving around here
We've seen a whole lotta hurting around here
But there's a whole lotta soul around here

Listen

Maybe we should move the mountains
Maybe we should drain the sea
And wash away the desert
No, that makes no sense to me

But looking it from the outside
It sure don't look that hard
But tell me how you gonna feel
When I come digging up your backyard?

There's a whole lotta something around here
There's a whole lotta giving around here
We've seen a whole lotta hurting around here
But there's a whole lotta soul around here

There's a whole lotta something around here
And there's a whole lotta giving around here
We've seen a whole lotta hurting around here
But there's a whole lotta soul around here
Come on

7.In It To Win It

Lyricist:Tab Adam Benoit, Anders Osborne

I was born in southeast delta
I played in the sugar cane
Me friends with the snakes and 'gators
I knew them all by name

My daddy was a driller
He did his job with pride
My mama was raising horses
And taught me how to ride

But that stuff didn't fit me
I had to be myself
'Cause you can't be somebody
Try to be somebody else

You gotta get in it to win it
Life is a game we play
Gotta get in it to win it
Before you waste away

Living out of suitcase
Traveling far and wide
Sure don't seem like a good life
Looking from the other side

Everybody's been digging
For what I learned out there
I'm bringing on home, mama
Sure, I still care

All of my game is my story
And I know how to play
And now I am somebody
And you can't take that away

You gotta get in it to win it
Let your light shine through
Gotta get in it to win it
Now the worlds been waiting on you


8.Can't You See

Lyricist:Michael Louis Doucet, Jr., August Meyer

You were my devotion
But now you're my emotion
Can't you see, can't you see
Oh, what you done to me?

You were my inspiration
But now you're my deviation
Can't you see, can't you see
Oh, what you done to me?

Can't you see, can't you see
Oh, what you done to me?
Open up your eyes
And realize it's me

You were my one and only
And now you're gone out, so lonely
Can't you see, can't you see
Oh, what you done to me?


Yeah, can't you see
Oh, what you're doing to me?
Open up your eyes
And realize it's me

You were my one and only
And now you're gone out, so lonely
Can't you see, can't you see
What you done to me?

Can't you see, can't you see
Oh, what you done to me?
Can't you see, can't you see
Oh, what you done to me?
