Eric Hisaw
Legend or Loser


Roy Heinrich-bass
Dodd Meredith-drums
Eric Hisaw-guitar, vocals

He stepped out of rehab for the fourteen hundredth time
looking like a skeleton who walked through a land mine
his face was gaunt and withered, his hair a greasy mess
Levi's hanging off his hips, his shirt like a baggy dress

(chorus)
Legend or Loser, super star or bum
depends on where you were on a good night back in '91

Seen him a few months ago in a rib house off the strip
singing like an angel for barbeque and tips
he spoke of being strung out and trying to get along
said it had been a long damn time since he wrote any new songs
(chorus)

They played rock'n'roll like you ain't heard in years
the fast ones got them on their feet the slow ones brought them tears
there's so much soul and so much life inside those blues but
brother that gets dangerous when all your songs are true

He pixxed off everyone until it was hard to gig in town
just the back talking bastard burning all his bridges down
but no one else can sing those songs even close to him
so he's sitting on the outskirts knowing his time will come again
(chorus)
