From the recording NEW CLOTHES
Back porch Bluesy discussion of the OJ trial, negative attitudes, getting fired and the virgin birth. Doug ties it all to Jesus and his Cleansing Blood. B.B. Morris adds rich acoustic bass to Dean Sweigart's soulful harmonica that will leave you breathless. Jerry Leeper on keyboards.
Very different from the the full band approach in Life's In The Blood - Encore.
Lyrics
LIFE'S IN THE BLOOD- Acoustic Version
Bloody glove, Bloody hand, Trail of blood,
Red blooded American
(Chorus)
They say the life's in the blood,
but the bloodline's unclean
Without the shedding of Blood there can be no forgiveness,
Sin remains on me
Butcher boss, bleed me dry, the ax falls,
he's already sucking blood from some other guy!
(Chorus)
They say the life's in the blood,
but the bloodline's unclean
Without the shedding of Blood there can be no forgiveness,
Sin remains on me
Bitter heart, cutting tongue, draw first blood,
put it on a sitcom and call it "fun"
(Chorus)
They say the life's in the blood,
but the bloodline's unclean
Without the shedding of Blood there can be no forgiveness,
Sin remains on me
Virgin Mom, Sinless Babe, Jesus Blood,
the only thing that's gonna stop my decay.
(Final Chorus)
The Life's in the blood,
but my bloodline's unclean,
But when I depend on the Blood of the Son, Jesus,
He Forgives, He Restores,
He Removes, Removes The sin from me. Yeah
Takes the sin from me. Uh Huh
Sin’s all gone
No bloody glove for me Yeah
Washed nice & clean
