This song was a one of my first experiments with the guitar synth. I recorded it without a metronome and added digital drums after ( I know I know and I'll NEVER do that again ) so it drops time just a tad,occasionaly. Its about a lot of things at one time but I tried to keep it rooted in a bluesy tradition.This another of my tunes where the lyrics are essential.....Lyrics follow

I Gotta Know You     Intro    Â

VERSE..Indescrimante..light baggage and heaven sent...Poke your head around that corner..Never gonna let me cross that border

BRIDGE..Flower from the pocket of a child..Blues o matic I play guitar in every bar in town. I Gotta Know You..Before I get Back ( repeat )...Turn-around

VERSE..Mamas gonna make it rain today She always gets her way..When ya ever gonna get it right?..I saw you dance last night

BRIDGE..Black Dog lickin on my face..Throw your television in the trash..What Im feeling for ya just might last..I Gotta Know You Before I Get Back ( repeat )...Indian Instrument solo

MIDDLE..And when those vapors and those troubles all go away..Thats when it all makes sense..Thats where you'll find me then..An American Whim

VERSE..When Jesus sets us free..The only way youll ever love me..Stratacaster gonna keep me warm..a baby blue sky and a fireplace on..Somebody else has my baby tonite..It dosnt matter who he could be..pretty soon Youll be grinnin at me....I gotta know you before I get back

FADE..I Gotta Know You Before I Get Back ( repeat...fade )
