Film by Greg Kahn. Desperate Man Blues is the first track on Bad Dog’s third album, “Saving Grace.”





Lord, don't take my breath away
Lord, don't take my breath away
I'm standing in the shadows of a brand new day.

Oh I can see the past, it's spinning like a wheel.
Oh I can see the past, it's spinning like a wheel
And I set that wheel a flaming like Ezekiel.

And if you come for me, I'm gonna take off
like a hound
If you come for me, I'm gonna take off
like a hound.
Down to Alabama, you'll have to track me
down.

Now I declare my words are like the wind
Now I declare my words are like the wind
And I stand alone without a friend.

Oh the night is long, I toss until the dawn
Oh the night is long, I toss until the dawn
There's a hurricane a-raging, and the king is in a storm.

Lord, don't take my breath away
Lord, don't take my breath away
I'm standing in the shadows of a brand new day
I'm standing in the shadows of a brand new day.
