Grateful Dead - Easy Wind [1970]



I've been ballin' a shiny black steel jack-hammer
Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway
I'll live five years if I take my time
Ballin' that jack and drinking my wine

I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room
Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack
If I live five years I'm gonna bust my back, yes I will

Easy wind, cross the Bayou today
'Cause there's a whole lotta women, Mama
Out in red on the streets today
And the river keeps a talkin'
But you never heard a word it said

Gotta find a woman be good to me
Won't hide my liquor try, to serve me tea
'Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will

“In California, We Are Going To SHINE!” - The Grateful Dead

Actually

"California
A prophet on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
I know I'm going to shine"

@mr peabody you should consider skipping the studio albums and concentrating on the incredible wealth of live shows. Just saying your have a gold mine out there and your listening to coper at best.

@mr peabody you should consider skipping the studio albums and concentrating on the incredible wealth of live shows. Just saying your have a gold mine out there and your listening to coper at best.

I remember taping copies of shows as they came out and clutching that cassette like it was gold. (like Red Rocks 1978 right after we got the recording) I worried when I lost some. Needless worry because now we have the Grateful Dead archives which is incredible. Every time I go to the archives I thank modern technology. I still have most of my tapes, I'll keep them. But a wealth of shows in one place. What a great thing.
