Cutting Down Cherry Trees

Take these pills and go to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
It's a long damned road
Now don't you know?
It's a long damned road but your soul must grow

Take a breath and count to ten
All good things come to an end
It's a long damned road
Now don't you know?
It's a long damned road that we all must go

But I'd rather it be me than you
I have nothing left, but you  do
It's a long damned road
And now you're gone
It's an endless road I'm walking on

What I would give to take your place
I'd pull that trigger in my face
It's a long damned road now don't you know
It's a long damned road to your North Node

Take me instead
Please take me instead
Please take me instead
...I'd rather be dead

Take these pills and go to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
It's a long damned road
Now don't you know?
It's a long damned road but your soul must go

Dig,Dig.....Dig

Jimmy Watts is a soulful, grass roots, traveling blues-man with a uniquely raw sound and a passion for performing live.  A one of a kind gentleman of the road and a journeyman through and through; he is a truly memorable performer and one of Australia's many great independent musical talents.
An addict of magical music moments, Jimmy has been hunting down music fixes on stages all over the country for years.  He's intense and at home on the boards; and delivers his performances with great furious energy, tremendous heart, and heaps of spontaneity.
Jimmy's self taught finger-picking style is a furious assault on the beaten and bloodied bodies of his acoustics, slides and electric guitars;  and his gravely, smoke filled vocals and roaring harmonicas only add insult to their injuries.
After more than a year of severe illness grounded the band, Jimmy had an operation that restored his health in mid 2014.  He's extremely excited to be touring again over summer with both a new found lease on life, and his band of exceptionally talented misfits.
