Early this morning he knocked on my door
I said Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go
Me and The Devil are walkin' side by side
Me and The Devil are walkin' side by side
Well, I'm goin' to beat my man until I get satisfied
He says I don't do him right
That I dog him around
Well, babe, you know you ain't treating me right
He says I don't do him right
that I dog him around
Well, it must be this old evil spirit
So deep down within the ground
You may bury my body down by the highway side
...oh, babe I don't care what you do with my body
You may bury my body down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit can catch a Greyhound bus and ride
Early this morning, he knocked on my door
Now me and The Devil are walking side by side
Side by side
Cowboy Junkies are an alternative country and folk rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1985 by Alan Anton (bassist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter Timmins (drummer) and Margo Timmins (vocalist). The three Timminses are siblings, and Anton worked with Michael Timmins during their first couple of bands. John Timmins was a member of the band but left the group before the recording of their debut studio album. The band line-up has never changed since, although they use several guest musicians on many of their studio albums, including multi-instrumentalist Jeff Bird who has performed on every album except the first.
Cowboy Junkies' 1986 debut studio album, produced by Canadian producer Peter Moore, was the blues-inspired Whites Off Earth Now!!, recorded in the family garage using a single ambisonic microphone.
The band gained wide recognition with their second studio album, The Trinity Session (1988), recorded in 1987 at Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity. Their sound, again with Peter Moore using the ambisonic microphone, and their mix of blues, country, folk, rock and jazz earned them both critical attention and a strong fan base. The Los Angeles Times named the recording one of the 10 best albums of 1988.
Cowboy Junkies have gone on to record 16 studio albums and five live albums, with tour dates booked into 2024.
I guess that's better than meandering calculatedly.
everybody in my alien space crafts loves this song more than Cartesian anxiety...
"Cartesian anxiety"? Is that along the lines of "I think, but I'm still not sure that I exist"? Or, as Monty Python put: "Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, 'I drink therefore I am'" ;-)
Nice segue from "Conversation with the Devil", but boy, is this song boring. So soporific it could cure insomnia, so numbing it could be used for anaesthetic in open heart surgery. Pure Aural Mogadon
I disagree and I'm more right than you. It's an unusual line, quite unique.

Margo Timmins could sing the phone book and sound cool.
I'd agree normally, but I'm listening tonight on a stereo with the bass turned WAAAAY up, and for the first time ever, I hear some activity in a Junkie tune. Singer and guitar zonked out on Xanax, bass player on speed and/or LSD.
soooo smooth... love it...
BUT GOD, THIS IS ANNOYING!!!!!!!

On another note, it could well be Cartesian Anxiety that's stalking us all these dire days.
Oh, 7 for me on this song. : )
ZZ down ?
