Keep the Devil away from me

[thetworegs]

I had a bit of a scare over the Christmas break i have suffered with Angina for a while now since August and the day before Christmas eve i went for a booked in Angiogram to find that i was to be kept in hospital by the Dr which was a little unnerving to say the least and had to have a stent fitted. The hospital i went to can do the angiogram but not the stent the angioplasty which is normally done in one procedure so it had to be performed at another hospital  due to goverment cuts, so i had to wait a long day and a half for it to be done. Bravo to the NHS which i might add seems to have done the job well but i'm still recoverying.Meanwhile..... My beautiful wife bought me a Candy Apple Red Gretsch for Christmas which i have been lovenly looking at since i came home and today was the first time i've felt well enough to have a play with it ....Its a beauty i might add to look at and play..so i plugged it into the kemper and came up with this .......Thanks for listening https://www.facebook.com/thetworegs/posts/3910632158969762 

Now Chase that devil away from me  Cause I'm not ready for him today
The deeds not done, as the hymns ain't sung
The box ain't nailed,My body ain't done
keep that devil away from me I'm on the run  now can't you see
I want to live
I want to live
So Keep that devil away from me
Keep him away can't you see I'm on the run

He grabbed my hand tried to pull me down
Tried to pull me right down  into the ground
but I said no now I'm on the run
I ain't finished with life I'm not done
Oh I try to run try to run try to be brave try to get something done
I try to fight the damn thing away
I run
I run
I chase that devil away cause I'm not ready for him today
Oh no I'm on the run
Run boy 

I'm trying to run trying to run trying to hide trying to live for another day
Keep that devil away from me cause I'm not ready for him to see
I ain't done nothing wrong at all I want to do is live life long
Keep him away
Keep him away
Keep that devil away from me cause I'm not ready for him to see
No way



No way 
Now Chase that devil away from me  Cause I'm not ready for him to see
The deeds not done, as the hymns ain't sung
The box ain't nailed, and i'm on the run
Keep that devil away
Keep that devil away from me
From me
Keep that devil away from me
I want to live for another day
Oh yeah!!

This is excellent. I love the poignant lyrics too. If you can come up with stuff like this given what you've just been through I take my hat off to you. Well done and best wishes for a speedy recovery. JMc

First off I'm glad that you went to the Dr. and they fixed you up. I'm also glad you are recovering well Trevor. The new Gretsch's tone sounds very cool as is your playing. I agree, keep that devil away because you have much more to do! Well done on all accounts Trevor!

brilliant!  I wish you hadn't had to go through what you did...but wow...does this rock as a result or what?  frigging a

reminds me a tad bit of Elvis....

Hoping you have a speedy recovery, Trevor. cool little rocker this song and I love the lyrics. That Gretsch sounds lovely m8. I think that devil will be staying away for some time yet.

whoa...scary story! My brother just had a stroke last month and got a stint in his carotid artery. Doing ok now and it sure seems you are too if you could pull this off already. With that killer rock voice of yours, i fully expected drums and bass to come piling in after the first verse. I liked the lyrics and emotional delivery...and the Gretsch sure did alot of runnin'!!! 3 chords and the truth...works every time. Cool track 

[Bluesberry]

Oh yeah, what a great little spooky rocker, spookie boogie woogie...Great vocals man, great. It is Reg-ified hit from the twilight shadows of Reg-ville.  Great song. Speedy recovery, look after yourself.
