I just ordered the album from this band. I saw them last week on the Texas Music Scene and really liked this song. I find a lot of great new music from watching that show (the other place I like is KPFT radio). That show is one of the very few things I watch on TV anymore.
It comes on right after Saturday Night Live (which I still like to watch- even tho they’re not nearly as funny as they used to be). They still come out with some really good stuff occasionally. I make it a point to watch it.
The Bluewater Highway is also a favorite place for me. It runs up the beach from Surfside to Galveston. I’ve had a lot of good times along that road. 🙂
I wonder if thats where they got their name? Just checked, I guess it is. Turns out they’re from right here in Lake Jackson, TX. 🙂

Well honey, here I come, I got a wagonload
A million different words I’m putting on for show
I’m peddling my heart
It sees your careful walk hiding a gypsy stare
And I know just the thing, woman if you dare
Step right on through
And I’ll do it all for you
I’ll do it all for you
I am the Medicine Man
I traveled all the land in a depression line
I bought and sold my love one too many times
But now those days are done
‘Cause under the things I own, I am the one you need
And in your snake oil smile, the cure for my disease
I’d break my heart in two
And I would do it all for you (c’mon girl, c’mon girl)
I’d do it all for you (c’mon girl, c’mon girl)
‘Cause I can see your fever rising
And I got all you need inside
You’re out on a ledge with your head in your hands
You got a bleeding heart honey, I am the Medicine Man
You (c’mon girl, c’mon girl)
I’d do it all for you (c’mon girl, c’mon girl)
I’d do it all for you (c’mon girl, c’mon girl)
I’d do it all for you (c’mon girl, ohh)
I can see your fever rising
And I got all you need inside
You’re out on a ledge with your head in your hands
You got a bleeding heart honey, I am the Medicine Man
