From the recording NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS
This is one of the first blues songs I ever wrote..for a band I was in in New Jersey. Those were fun days..recording with Clarence Clemmons, Gregg Allman, and Ronnie Godfrey, the most soulful dude I know.
Lyrics
NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS
I CAN DRIVE 120 WHILE I'M DEALING 21
I CAN DRINK A PINT OF WHISKEY CHANGING GEARS
I CAN DRIVE THE LADIES CRAZY AND MAKE SURE THEY ALL HAVE FUN
BUT DARLING THERE'S NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS
NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS..NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS..
I WILL EAT THE BREAD AND WATER THEY FEED ME WHEN I'M CAUGHT
I'M THE REASON THAT THE LOCALS HAVE CAREERS
BUT I WILL STILL BE HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVIN THAT AWAITS ME
CAUSE DARLIN THERE'S NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS
I CAN PLACE A BET IN RENO COP A BUZZ IN NEW ORLEANS AND BE HOME BEFORE THAT ROULETTE TABLE CLEARS
IF I'M A A LITTLE LATE ARRIVING I JUST STOPPED TO BUY A RING
JUST TO SHOW YOU THERE'S NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS
I MAY LOOK FOR TROUBLE ALL THE TIME CAUSE I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH
AT A GIVEN HOUR THOUGH I'M HARD TO FIND
I'M RIGHT BEHIND OUR LOVE....
THERE'S NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS..
