about

This is about getting caught having to play catch up because you've put things off, and how you pray for help and swear you'll never mess around like that again.......until you do. I wrote it around '85 or '86. There's another live to 2 track version of this we recorded at Breezeway Studios back then, along with Hot Rod Wind and a couple of other tunes, the day after a Milwaukee gig.

lyrics

Don't Take Me Down
© 2005 Steve Summers

Don't take me down gimme one more chance
lf you let me by this once l swear l'll never let it happen again
for a long long time
l try so hard to be good butchoo
know l can't win for tryin'

Well it's a cold hard world out there
Temptation everywhere
A thousand dark delights to keep me up all night
Once l lose hold of my self control
l can't stop myself l can't say no

Don't take me down gimme one more chance
lf ya let me by this once l swear l'll never let it happen again for a long long time
l try so hard to be good butchoo
know l can't win for tryin'

it's a constant uphill fight to organize my life
Little details slip my mind
l start to fall behind
l can always seem to find a way to put off till next year what l could do today

Don't take me down gimme one more chance
lf ya let me by this once l swear l'll never let it happen again for a long long time
l try so hard to be good butchoo
know l can't win for tryin'

Weelll
Don't take me down gimme one more chance
lf ya let me by this once l swear l'll never let it happen again for a long long time
l try so hard to be good butchoo
know l can't win for tryin'

EIEIO Sierra Madre, California

EIEIO, est. 1983, put out "Land of Opportunity" and "That Love Thang" on Frontier Records in the mid '80's. In 1999 after a ten year break, we decided to play again and released "EIEIO" in 2007. Here you'll get unreleased material, and hopefully new material from Rob Harding, Mike Hoffmann, Mike Gorman, Scott Gorsuch and me, Steve Summers, time and distance permitting. Thanks for checking in. ... more
