Free Willis Ruminations From Behind Uncle Bob's
Blues Traveler

No, I think we got it


You got a '68 Chevy in the middle of a dirt pile

You see it come back because it's gonna be here for a while

Your mama needs some money too

So does her niece, your cousin


You think you'd be open to sitting down

With me and talking about it?

Would you like to sit down and talk about it?

A man does not like to be held down


Bubble

And there's a guy right next to me

And he's all stressed out and texting

And something's wrong with him

And he's got a problem

And he's gotta do his job, okay?


And his wife's nagging him, because, you know

She can't get the coat this month

And they're going away this month

So why can't she have her coat?


Man down, they said

Got a man down, man down


Please know that I am distraught

Over the conversations we have had

These last few nights

I love you, I love my job


Always wanna give it back to you

And make a difference

And not hold you down

Why would you say that?


You think you'd be open to sitting down

With me and talking about it?

Would you like to sit down and talk about it?


A man does not like to be held down


How longer hey, how longer, ho

I don't know, ho, hey, hey

Ghost in the morning, hey, hey

Like a ghost in the morning


No criticizing, we don't want you to criticize

Like a ghost in the morning

It's like a ghost in the morning

Brings out the dog in me

It brings out the dog in me


Father, we beseech thee

If you're out there, please listen

Now, come on, help me

Help a man when he's down


Please, can you do me a

Can you, can you help me?

Can you do me a kindness?

Could you do me a kindness?


The following information is brought

To you by the following companies


Regarding the things I said

While I was in the car with you

And I was on the way to work

And you know I was upset and still


Hold my cell phone, it's a BlackBerry, hold it

My second BlackBerry's ringing

Tell 'em I'm, just ask 'em to hang on for a minute

I'd love to talk to you right now

But I'm late for a meeting, and it's Thursday
