Story behind the song
Sammy (R.I.P.) and Graham sat and cranked out most of it while sippin' on a little pirate juice. Yo, ho, ho and a bottle o' pain!
Lyrics
Rolling the wheel 'til the sun goes down, I got no patience for losers who keep messing me around. Gonna lay my track. Ain’t gonna look back. I made some headway in the jungle uptown, But I got small-time bigshots pegging me for a clown. They tried to throw me off track. Yeah, they were giving me flak. (Bridge-Chorus) The whirling dervish disappears in a cloud. He’s calling in the djin who’s keeping me down In a bottle of pain. Oh, in a bottle of pain. The setting sun reveals the ruins of my day. But I can’t let these shadows stand in my way. A puff of smoke may seem to prove that I’m free. You gotta know it is my destiny to bleed In a bottle of pain. Bleeding from shattered glass around my feet, Here lie my fortunes. Time to hit the street. I got a ways to go. This time I’m taking it slow. So many roads lead to the promised land. I think I’ll take ‘em all while I still can. I ain’t afraid, though I’m feelin’ my way.
