A Possible Projection Of The Future

A Possible Projection Of The Future - Al Kooper

God helped Moses so I know he won't let me down

I'm at the bottom of my ladder

And it weren't no easy way down

All the folks that used to be around me

You won't find em knockin at my door

And you never know who your friends are

Til they don't come round no more Lord

My money ran out last evenin'

My woman she ran out today

And no one gives a f**k what I'm singing

Which makes it even harder to say

I've worked almost all my lifetime

Makin' music as best I can

But you never know who your friends are

Til they don't come round again

Now I'm just an old nothin'

With memories of fifty years

I started with The Blues Project

Spent some time with Blood Sweat & Tears

My life was filled with music

My heart was drenched in sound

And if you go see an old movie

You might hear me in the background

These old eyes don't see too good no more

These days they say that I'm deaf

My hands are so soft and wrinkled

So let me play you all that I got left

Oh Lord oh Lord
