Warren Haynes and Edwin McCain plays Alive at Warren Haynes Benefit Concert.

Lyrics:

Al, he sells records down on old st. charley's street

He's cleaning up fat tuesday's mess he keeps the sidewalks neat

And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife

And if it wasn't for the music he couldn't get on with his life

And he knows what I know

It's not all that hard to survive

You take the good and the bad and the time in between

It lets us know we're alive

Well now be be's singing gospel

And down on bourbon she sings the blues

She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes

And she knows what I'm after

Chase my dreams with all my might

She says you shouldn't be so anxious and deep down I know she's right

And she knows what I know

It's not all that hard to survive

You take the good and the bad and the time in between

It lets us know we're alive

Well get on board the rocket

Step right into the front car

You know life's a roller coaster

It ain't got no safety bar

Raise your voices up with laughter

Bring it in with one big sigh

Consecrated in the wonder .... we're alive

Norman he plays music but only in my dreams

Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings

But sometimes he's a spectre and I wake up clenched with fear

But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear

And he knows what I know

It's not all that hard to survive

You take the good and the bad and the time in between

It lets us know we're alive

Proof that Warren Haynes loves music so much that he'll play with anyone. Even an emo loser.

@Vocah I doubt Edwin would fret about the error. He just wants folks to hear the music.

Thank you Edwin..I just heard about Warren from one of your videos. He is one hell of a guitar player. It's probably time for Amazon.com. LOL Oh yes, I must also say that as always Edwin, you kick ass.

@glassmaninboulder "IS Gov't mule"? I am a big Warren Haynes fan but there are three other amazing musicians that share a stage with him in Govt Mule, and the way they play off each other is astounding. I will miss the band on their hiatus, but I am excited for Warren Solo gigs-and for the rest of the band to broaden some musical horizons. Great song Mr. McCain!

@roochuckyroo - He's the singer/lead guitarist for Government Mule and he also plays with The Dead and The Allman Brothers Band. He's an awesome guitarist and songwriter in my opinion!
