Woke up today - Shook my head-

I asked the lord - Is my soul dead

Woke up today – I shouted lord Help me to pray

Cause I woke up today

Hoping the lord - would hear me

Hoping the lord could heal me - Whoa OH yeah

Cuz I knew  - That he knew

What was in my heart

When I woke up today - Mmmmm

Here is a vocal sampling of Poison Pillow lyrics. Instrumental ideas needed and welcomed.

An Swaggering tune:

A skinny women I would hug

A wide one I could ride

But if I'm still alive

Then I'll need an alibi

Singing this song all words forgotten

I'll sing just because I'm rotten

I hope the tune is pleasant enough

You'll never run away

Sing heydee hi and away she goes

Pinch her cheeks and tickle her toes

Remember to Love her well

And away she goes

Some have a cat

Some have a dog

I have a leg

Carve from a log

A patch hung over my lesser eye

A good women I can spy

That'd make you cry

For more........In story I can't tell

Sing heydee hi and away she goes

Pinch her cheeks and tickle her toes

Remember to Love her well

And away she goes

MY Boo Who Song

Watching for that moment

You never forget

Waiting

Never knowing

What card you'll get

Seen it in your eyes

Seen it in a sunset

Places I remember

That will never feel the same

I keep on moving

What did you expect

Smell upon my jacket

Of many campfires you wore

Worn out like the

Lover you regret

Nothing complicated

That time wont tell

I'll say a prayer for the next guy

And what he'll get
