lyrics

IN MY CAVE
lyrics ©2022 Rich Mattson

I had a nothing day
Just stompin’ around my cave
Don’t have no runs to make
Ain’t got no bills to pay
And I’m well stocked but the creek’s running dry
I cast my litanies up to the sky
I may know who but I don’t know why
Walk out that door and that tiger will strike

Will strike
Will strike
Will strike…

Out there where the big river flows
The whole world needs rock and roll
Such a primal feeling inside
Some things you can’t leave behind

Behind
Behind
Behind

Stompin’ around so long
Waiting so long to leave here
How can it last so long
Relieve me from these lashes
Waited to long
To leave here
To leave here

I had a nothing day
Just stompin’ around my cave
Out there where the big river flows
The whole world needs rock and roll
