The Derek Trucks Band Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.I'll Find My Way

Lyricist:Jay Joyce, Derek Trucks

There comes a time in each man's life
To find your way or fall behind
Who you are is the path you take
And I'll find my way through your mistake

Sometimes your tears are your bridge to the sky
But you can't trust souls with no truth in their eyes
Who you are is the path you take
And I'll find my way through your mistake

Time will heal and all we know
If nothing's learned baby nothing grows
Time will heal and all we know
Everything stays the same nothing changes, nothing changes

A man's not a man when he takes the lower road
Dragging his tail to cover his tracks
When you plant the seeds of doubt in my mind
You know you run the risk of being left behind
When I turn the mirror, I turn it back on myself
I can see your way was a cry for help

Time will heal and all we know
If nothing's learned baby nothing grows
Time will heal for all we know
Everything stays the same nothing changes, nothing changes

There comes a chance in your life
To find your way from behind

Time will heal and all we know
If nothing's learned baby nothing grows
Time will heal for all we know
Everything stays the same nothing changes, nothing changes

Time will heal, time will heal
Time, time, time
Time will heal, time will heal

4.This Sky

Lyricist:Jay Joyce, Mike Mattison, Derek Trucks

Sad, sad lover being true
Falling out a window for the view
All of us laugh, how many of us say?
This sky where we live is no place to lose your way
So love, love, love

Lose your body and your mind
And the bitter taste of time
All of us cry while we should be dancing
This sky where we live is no place to lose your way
So love, love, love

Fly, fly away, fly away
Fly fly away, do you remember?
All of us sleeping, how many of us dream?
This sky where we live is the place to lose your way
So love, love, love

Fly, fly away, fly away
Fly, fly away, do you remember?


5.I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free)

Lyricist:Adam Clayton, Dick Dallas, Dave Evans, Paul Hewson, Richard
Carroll Lamb, Larry Mullen, William E Taylor

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
Wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say everything I had to say
Say it loud, say it clear for the whole damn world to hear

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bonds that keep us apart
I wish you knew how it would feel to be me
Then you'd see and agree everyone should be free

I wish I could give all I'm longing to give
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
I wish I could do everything that I could do
Though I'm way overdue I'd be starting with you

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing 'cause I know yeah, I would sing 'cause I know

I'd sing baby, I'd sing yeah, I would sing yeah
I'd sing 'cause I know 'cause I know
I'd sing 'cause I know 'cause I know

I sing because I know, I sing because I know
I sing because I know everyone should be free


6.Revolution

Lyricist:Jay Joyce

People, this is just a dream away
I see us walking to a better day
Gonna be alright when tomorrow comes
After the heat of the revolution

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
It's alright with me

Daylight comes like a wonder drug
You've got to live for what you love
Gonna be alright when tomorrow comes
After the heat of the revolution

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
The revolution, it's alright with me, yeah
The revolution, it is alright, oh, it's alright with me

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
The revolution, it's alright, yeah, it's alright with me
It's alright with me, yeah
The revolution, revolution

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
It's alright with me


7.Afro Blue

Lyricist:Ramon Santamaria

Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on a drum
Elegant boy, beautiful girl
Dancing for joy elegant whirl

Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night Afro blue

Two young lovers dance face to face
With undulating grace
They gently sway, then slip away
To some secluded place

Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night Afro blue

Whispering trees, echo their sighs
Passionate pleas, tender replies
Lovers in flight upward they glide
Burst at the height slowly subside

Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night Afro blue

And my slumbering fantasy assumes reality
Until it seems it's not a dream for two for you and me

Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night Afro blue
Oh, shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night Afro blue

Shades of delight Afro, Afro blue


8.I'd Rather Be Blind, Crippled and Crazy

Lyricist:Darryl Carter, Charles Edward Sr Hodges, Deadric Malone

Just stepped out, over and over again
Standin' my pride, even though I know I can't win
I'm tired of you messin' up my tide
You got yours, let me, let me have mine

I'd rather be blind, cripple and crazy
Somewhere pushin' up daisies
Than to let you break my heart
All over again

To break a man's heart, all you need is pain
You've got me so messed up, 'bout to go insane
You break a man's heart and don't say nothin' to him
I keep askin' myself why you wanna do it?
Why you wanna do it?

I'd rather be blind, cripple and crazy
Somewhere pushin' up daisies
Than to let you break my heart
All over again

Why you wanna do it, baby?

Rather be blind, cripple and crazy
Somewhere pushin' up daisies
Than to let you break my heart
All over again

Why you wanna do it, baby?
I keep askin' myself why you wanna do it?


9.Drown In My Own Tears

Lyricist:Henry Glover

It brings a tear, oh, to my eyes
When I begin to realize
I've cried so much since you've been gone
Guess I'm gonna drown, drown in my own tears

I sit and cry just like a baby child
My pouring tears keep on runnin' wild
If you don't think, oh, that you'll be home soon
Guess I'm gonna drown, oh, in my own tears

I know it's true into each life
Oh, some rain must surely fall
I'm so blue living here without you
It keeps on raining more and more and more and more

I know it's true into each life
Oh, some rain, oh, must surely fall
I'm so blue living here without you
It keeps on raining more and more and more and more

Why don't you think you better come on home now?
So I won't, won't be left here all alone
And if you don't think, oh, that you'll be home soon
Guess I'm gonna drown
Oh, don't let me drown

I wake in the morning I'm gonna drown
Everyday and every night
Sometime in the midnight hour
Everyday, every afternoon
Oh, please don't let me drown
No, don't let me drown

Oh, don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Oh yeah
Talk to me, baby
Gonna bring in a moment to drown
Oh, in my own tears, yeah


10.Good Morning Little School Girl

Lyricist:Sonny Boy Williamson (#1)

Good morning, little school girl
Can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy
I'm a little school boy too

Way I learn this morning
Can't help myself
So young and pretty
Don't need nobody else

Good morning, little school girl
Can I go home with you?

Gonna leave here, baby
Just about the break of day
On the count of way you treat me
I got to stay away

Yeah, come on schoolgirl
Oh, I can't help myself
Love you, baby
Don't need nobody else

Good morning, little school girl
Can I go home with you?

11.Death Letter

Lyricist:House Eddie J Jr

Got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read?
Said, 'Hurry, hurry, the gal you love is dead'
Got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read?
It said, 'Hurry, hurry, the gal you love is dead'

Well, grabbed up my suitcase took off down the road
When I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board
Grabbed my suitcase and I took off down the road
Well when I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board

Well, walked up real close and I looked down in her face
The good ol' gal gonna lay here till judgment day
Walked real close, lookin' down in her face
Well she's a good ol' gal, gonna lay here till judgment day

Oh hush, I thought I heard her call my name
It wasn't so loud, so nice and plain
Well, wasn't so loud, whoa so nice and plain

I'm love with four women in my life
My mother and my sister, dead gal and my wife
Only loved four women in my life
Well my mother and my sister, dead gal and my wife

Look like ten thousand standin' around the burial ground
Didn't know I loved her till they laid her down
Ten thousand standin' around the burial ground
Well I didn't know I loved her till they began to lay her down
Laid her down


12.Alright

Lyricist:Andrew Charles Farriss, Michael Hutchence

Well if you got a problem and things are going wrong
Just wait a little while 'cause you know it won't be too long
It'll be alright, everything gonna be okay
Just hang on tight 'cause tomorrow will be another day

Look deep inside and wonder when things are going wrong
Just wait a little while 'cause you know it won't be too long
It'll be alright, everything gonna be okay
Just hang on tight 'cause tomorrow will be another day

If you got a problem and things are going wrong
Just wait a little while 'cause you know it won't be too long
It'll be alright, everything gonna be okay
Just hang on tight 'cause tomorrow will be another day

Just hang on tight 'cause tomorrow will be another day


13.Forty-Four

Lyricist:Chester Arthur Burnett

I wore my forty-four so long
Made my shoulder sore
I wore my forty-four so long
Made my shoulder sore
Well, I'm goin' down the valley
I might leave alone

Well, I'm so mad this mornin'
Don't know where in the world to go
I'm so mad this mornin'
Don't know where in the world to go
I got to find me some money
'Cause I gots to go

I do believe, I believe I hear that
Forty-four whistle blow
I do believe, hear that
Forty-four whistle blow
After today, hey
Ain't gonna get no more
