Tony Joe White - Backside of Paradise
(Intro: E)
EThey say I was born on a stormy night jAammin' Gto the bElues
My mama thought that I was a good luck charm
But I tAhink that I was toGuched with the hoEodoo
AI must have been a sCwamp doctor's sDacrifiEce
Cause I'm on the CbacksideB7 of paradEise
All out of rhythm in my snakeskin shoes a victim of the dance
A medicine man gave me something for my nerves
But I think it was an aphrodisiac
Suspended animation with my temperature on the rise
I'm on the backside of paradise
(Guitar solo: E, A, C, D, E, C, B7, E)
I can look out but I can't see within
Can't face what's behind the mask
On top of the world with you under my skin moving too fast
She's a hot blooded octaroon with a heart cold as ice
I'm on the backside of paradise
I'm on the backside of paradise
