Blues Traveler
I lied and told her I loved her
she didn’t care but anyway
I told her we’d still be friends
and she didn’t care but anyway
I tried last week for to call her
she wasn’t home but anyway
I think I’ll spend my life alone
I really don’t care right now but
anyway
it’s a state of affairs
and a state of emotions
the kind of thing that you must
understand
I tell you one thing
you tell me another
we walk away
maybe then shake hands
I’m quitting cigarette smoking
it’s bad for me but anyway
I don’t think the T.V. was joking
when it told me this but anyway
the newsman said not to sit on
strange toilet seats
It’s my life he’s trying to save but
anyway
I found out that I’ve got eye cancer
too many television waves but
anyway
it’s a state of affairs
and a state of emotions
the kind of thing that you must
understand
I tell you one thing
you tell me another
we walk away
maybe then shake hands
some day an answer will find us
quite a long shot but anyway
I think the past is behind us
be real confusing if not but anyway
I put all my hope in tomorrow
it’s gonna be great I can tell but
anyway
I see a new day a dawning
I like to sleep late, oh well, but
anyway
it’s a state of affairs
and a state of emotions
the kind of thing that you must
understand
I tell you one thing
you tell me another
we walk away
maybe then shake hands

Love this song, just saw it on the film “KingPin” and it reminded me how great the band is.

Your music was introduced to me at such an impressionable delicate age and I cherish it so. (I was like 19 or 20-now I am 34) Keep making music, PLEASE! My 6 year old daughter likes to try and play harmonica to FOUR all the time. Thanks for the memories.

Just saw John Popper and The Dusk Ray Trubodours at The Wanee….. Unbelievable… I’m Hooked

Saw you guys a few times the last was in Knoxville TN, took both my boys, met the band and John gave the boys harmonicas very cool. would be great if the fellas would come to Harrah’s Casino on the Cherokee Reservation in western NC. They built a 3000 seat arena , and have had some good shows so far ZZ Top in Sept. Plus the Blue Ridge Mountains are a wonder of beauty. Hope to see you soon, where ever that may be.
Peace & Love

One of my fave quotes/lyrics:
“I think the past is behind us/
be real confusing if not but anyway.” Totally mesmerized by JP’s ability to play harmonica! Have been since the first time I heard BT; how I feel about Hendrix & guitar–transcends what came before (& what came after, in a non-linear conception of time & reality!)
