Electric Worry

Correct lyrics:

Well you made me weep and you made me moan When you caused me to leave, child, my happy home. But someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life anymore.

I get satisfaction everywhere I go. Where I lay my head - that’s where I call home. Whether barren pines, or the mission stare, Take tomorrow’s collar and give ‘em back the glare.

Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos. Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos.

You told everybody in the neighborhood what a dirty mistreater. That I was no good. But someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life anymore.

Doctor or lawyer, I’ll never be. Life of a drifter - only life for me, You can have your riches, all the gold you saved. Cause’ ain’t room for one thing in everybody’s grave.

Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos! Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos!

If I had money, like Henry Ford, Lord, I’d have me a woman, yeah on every road. But Someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life any more.

Invocation of the dummies, requiem for a head, Cash in at the corner, piles of street cred. I get satisfaction everywhere I go. One day baby you’ll worry me no more.

Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos! Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos!

"This song is one part cover song, one part original. Half of each verse is taken from Mississippi Fred McDowell's "Fred's Worried Life Blues." The rest is our own concoction. When we wrote the upbeat part of the song, I couldn't hear the typical blues sentiment. Instead, it kind of became a motivational speaker slapping himself out of a stupor. The chorus "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Vamanos! Vamanos!" has nothing to do with guns. It got its start long ago when Tim, and I can't recall why, said, "Vamanos! Bang! Bang!" Add a bit of John Lee Hooker and there you go. The ripping harp solo is none other that Five Horse Johnson's Eric Oblander."

I think it's a song about living life on the road. Without being bound by chains of dependency or having something expected of you. The line that best sums up the song is "Life of a drifter, that's the life for me". He's saying he doesn't need lots of money or fancy living to enjoy life and live it to its fullest, even his girlfriend(?) who calls him a liar or whatever will not hold him back. In a world of demands and prospects you're always expected to study hard and become a lawyer or whatever and have a materialistic life that isn't governed by you, it takes guts to stand up to that dogma and just hit the road; every new street corner is your new home and you are subject to none; without a master of your own.

I don't know what it means, but I love this song.

The guy on blues harmonica is the lead man from Fire Horse Johnson, I saw them play together on their concert tour. He's crazy with that harmonica.

I really like the blues tilt Clutch has taken recently. Electric Worry, Gravel Road, and Who's Been Talking, while not my favorite songs by them, definitely show their versatility as artists, as well as giving insight into their influences.

this song reminds me and my step dad of zztop

Great stuff...I love down and dirty rock.

great song

Zombies.....Obviously

Has anyone else realized that both songs in the Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 commercials tend to have a dark overtone and tend to really stick with you?
