about

...ever just want to get away?...I mean really GET AWAY?...one day my wife was under a lot of pressure and said, "I just wanna go..."...that stuck in my mind as I worked with the A C G progression on acoustic guitar...images of hobo culture from the 1930's...believer baptism down by the river...contemporary woes and pressures of modern life...seeking total release...backward acoustic guitar in verse...I always start with a "scratch" vocal and then re-do it but this time it was better than the re-do so we kept it

lyrics

GIVE IT ALL AWAY
Gonna get down to the riverside
Where the ragged people pray
Gonna get my life turned upside down
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
Gonna get on down to hobo town
Gotta plan my getaway
Gonna get lost among the hopeless ones
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
I’m givin’ it all away—one fine day
I’m givin’ it all away—some fine day
Some day soon and it might just be today
Gonna give it all away—give it all away
Not sure who I’m supposed to be
Really don’t care anyway
Tired of this one—that’s for sure
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
[Chorus]
Rent’s overdue taxman’s on my tail
Don’t know how I’m gonna pay
If I ain’t got nothin’ they got nothing to take
Gonna give it all away—gonna give it all away
[Chorus]
