TWO FOR TUESDAY


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Midnight Rider
The Allman Brothers Band
I’ve got to run
To keep from hidin’
And I’m bound
To keep on ridin’
And I’ve got
One more
Silver dollar
But I’m not gonna let ‘em catch me no
Not gonna let ‘em catch
The midnight rider

And I don’t own
The clothes I’m wearin’
And the road
Goes on forever
And I’ve got
One more
Silver dollar
But I’m not gonna let ‘em catch me no
Not gonna let ‘em catch
The midnight rider

And I’ve gone by
The point of carin’
Some old bed
I’ll soon be sharin’
And I’ve got
One more
Silver dollar
But I’m not gonna let ‘em catch me no
Not gonna let ‘em catch
The midnight rider

No
I’m not gonna let ‘em catch me no
Not gonna let ‘em catch
The midnight rider

No
I’m not gonna let ‘em catch me no
Not gonna let ‘em catch
The midnight rider

No
I’m not gonna let ‘em catch me no
Not gonna let ‘em catch
The midnight rider


Whippin’ Post
The Allman Brothers Band
I’ve been run down
I’ve been lied to
And I don’t know why
I let that mean woman
Make me a fool
She took all my money
Wrecked my new car
Now she’s with one of my
Good time buddies
They’re drinkin’ in some
Cross town bar

Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I’ve been
Tied to the whippin’ post
Tied to the whippin’ post
Tied to the whippin’ post
Good Lord
I feel like I’m dyin’

My friends tell me
That I’ve been such a fool
And I have to stand by
And take it baby
All for lovin’ you
I drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you’ve done
But nothin’ seems to change
The bad times stay the same
And I can’t run

Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I’ve been
Tied to the whippin’ post
Tied to the whippin’ post
Tied to the whippin’ post
Good Lord
I feel like I’m dyin’

Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I’ve been
Tied to the whippin’ post
Tied to the whippin’ post
Tied to the whippin’ post
Good Lord
I feel like I’m dyin’

  1. I've heard of the Alman brothers but never listened to them much. The songs are ok.

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I actually like Willie Nelson's version of Midnight Rider better because of the incredible harmonica solo included, but I realize that is blasphemy to a very great many. If you ever saw the movie, The Electric Horseman, with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, Willie's Midnight Rider was a featured song.
