From the recording There's Time Between the Bridge and the Water
About The Song…
♪ Modestly, a live sing-along favorite, especially with Mike and Marc’s interplay in the bridge – take a listen…Great ideas by Marc and Joe Mattis on the spoken word portion of the Bridge and the crowd vocals – Thanks, guys! This was supposed to be on the first album; Marc demanded that we put it on this album. If a glass has a drop in it, it’s got something in it. There’s always more good than bad, and you always have more than you don’t have – in my opinion.

Lyrics
Woe, oh woe, woe, oh woe, woe is me
Woe, woh oh, WOE, woe, oh woe, woe is me
Woe, oh woe, woe, oh woe, woe is me
Woe, woh oh, WOE, woe is me
If something's got you singing the blues
Something's gonna pull you through
As you walked in…
You can walk out
Now if things aren't really right today
Come back, back another day
Been through miles…
I've been through trials of doubt
Now, I'm picking up the pieces (Pieces!), honey
Shaking out my shoes (shoes!)
I'm squinting through the dust (dust!)
But I'm never gonna rust, OH NO!
[REFRAIN] [REPEAT VERSES ABOVE] [REFRAIN]
[SOLO]
Reinvent, Time to grow, Start over, No woe is me!
[REFRAIN x 2]
