| Lyrics: | I woke up this morning, the Devil knocking at my door I woke up this morning, the Devil knocking at my door My sweet woman’s left Now I think it’s time to go I follow him to the station, with a suitcase in my hand ya so I follow him to the station, with a suitcase in my hand I think where I’m headed is gonna be the promised land Ya, I’ve got to keep moving on, the Devil’s trailing on the side Now I’ve got to keep moving on, the Devil’s trailing on the side Oh baby since you left me, I may just up and die Bury me by the big brown oak, when I’m dead and gone Bury me by the big brown oak, when I’m dead and gone You said you used to love me, but that’ll never be no more You said you used to love me, but that’ll never be no more |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
