Medicine Jar

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

What's wrong with you?

I wish I knew

You say time will tell

I hope that's true

There's more to life than blues and reds

I say, I know how you feel

Now your friends are dead

Dead on your feet

You won't get far

If you keep on sticking your hand

In the medicine jar

Now don't give up (oh)

Whatever you do

You say time will tell

I hope that's true

If you go down and lose your head

I say, I know how you feel

Now your friends are dead

Dead on your feet

You won't get far

If you keep on sticking your hand

In the medicine jar

I said, dead on your feet

You won't get far

If you keep on sticking your hand

In the medicine jar

Take it!

What can I do? (Uh, uh)

I can't let go

You say time will heal

But very slow

So don't forget the things you said

I say, I know how you feel

Now your friends are dead

Dead on your feet

You won't get far

If you keep on sticking your hand

In the medicine jar

(Dead on your feet)

(You won't get far)

(If you keep on sticking your hand)

In the medicine jar

(Medicine jar)

The medicine jar

(Medicine jar)

Medicine jar

(Medicine jar)

Medicine jar

(Medicine jar)

(Medicine jar)

(Medicine jar)

(Medicine jar)

(Medicine jar)

(Medicine jar)

(Medicine jar)

(Medicine jar)
