The Rain 05:30
lyrics

And I wanna know now Why I’ve never felt the rain Pouring Over me And you’ll never know now If I ever felt the pain Rolling over me Well i guess it never occurred to you To let me down as easy As you’d put a mongrel dog Out of his misery And I guess it never crossed your mind The tears you ripped right through me In your headlong desperation To be free And in your head And in your heart You played me from the start And there you stand And wait to watch me tear myself apart And I wanna know now Why I’ve never felt the rain Pouring Over me And you’ll never know now If I ever felt the pain Rolling over me And if the road you walk takes flight And leaves you in the cool embraces Of terrors of the night Remember what you left behind And if your soul should cry out loud And flee your cold and twisted vision of a life With no redemption left to find In your heart And in your head You left me here for dead But here I stand A better man rising up instead And I wanna know now Why I’ve never felt the rain Pouring Over me And you’ll never know now If I ever felt the pain Rolling over me And in my heart And in my head I’m rising up instead

Shakin’ down like some Old Glory Floatin’ down from 20 stories Guess that’s fine - this ain’t a line It’s only rock n roll There’s somethin’ wrong these ain’t my shoes They’re suede all right but they ain’t blues Guess that’s fine I ain’t lying It’s only rock n roll So take me home my Jenny Jenny won’t you take me home Take me home my Jenny Jenny I’ve been on the road too long I got two cute blondes they’re in my bed I got some kind of wonderful in my head Guess that’s fine - this ain’t a line It’s only rock n roll I got 3 encores I closed the show Now I got nothin’ - nowhere to go Guess that’s fine I ain’t lying It’s only rock n roll So take me home my Jenny Jenny won’t you take me home Take me home my Jenny Jenny I’m only skin and bones So take me home my Jenny Jenny won’t you take me home Take me home my Jenny Jenny I’ve been on the road too long Sure Sunday mornings I break my fast with Van Slow man on a slow day Gotta take it while I can - Oh yeah I got mobbed last night but I ain’t scared They cut my hair they cut my beard Guess that’s fine - this ain’t a line It’s only rock n roll It’s crazy how I walk this line They say I’m dead but I feel so fine Guess that’s fine I ain’t lying It’s only rock n roll So take me home my Jenny Jenny won’t you take me home Take me home my Jenny Jenny I’m only skin and bones So take me home my Jenny Jenny won’t you take me home Take me home my Jenny Jenny I’ve been on this road too long

Restless Wide awake and racing Girl you keep me waiting For your love Aching All my body’s aching Hurting when I miss you Killing me when we touch You’re making my heart beat A little bit faster You’re making me hot Then leaving me cold You’re making me restless Girl you’re leading me on Defenceless No longer in control I’m buried in your passion I’m dying here in your soul You’re holding me down When I wanna go faster You’re picking me up Just to put me on hold You’re making me restless Girl you’re leading me on You keep telling me Its just a matter of time You keep me hanging on Driving me out of my mind You’re making me restless Restless You’re holding me down When I wanna go faster You’re picking me up Just to put me on hold You’re making me restless Girl you’re leading me on

I almost bust the bank in Vegas On lucky number seven I got Gibson guitar I’m gonna be a star I got a California dream house My waterbed is heaven But there goes my girlfriend Riding in another man’s car I got a mother of a red car Got Jimmy on the reg plate Got nothing like a limit On my jet black credit card I get to tell my shrink now what’s messing with my mind state There goes my girlfriend Riding in another man’s car She’s up and down the strip Cruising all the time I should pull her over but she really looks so fine I gotta tell her that I want her I gotta tell her that I need her I gotta tell him keep his hands off My little curvy cookie jar She tells me that she doesn’t want to And there ain’t nothing that I can do There goes my girlfriend Riding in another man’s car I gotta tell her that I want her I gotta tell her that I need her I gotta tell him keep his hands off My little curvy cookie jar She tells me that she doesn’t want to And there ain’t nothing that I can do There goes my girlfriend Riding in another man’s car

Days of Wine and Roses 04:13
lyrics
buy track
It was ’75 On the banks of the Clyde I was 19 And worked the plate steel floor Almost lost my way To find a weekly wage Working the cutting crew From 8 till 4 I took day shift tag Grabbed my duffel bag Took every double shift That came my way At his hut I prayed to the foreman, “Charlie can I share some sick man’s wage” Living for the day I was living for the day Living for the day Praying for the Days of Wine and Roses I met a younger girl From a different world She took my hand Led me out of my way Laid me down that night Got my first love bite I’d be her man For the rest of my days Living for the day We were living for the day Living for the day Praying for the Days of Wine and Roses For the border we rode On the ’74 With our lives In the back of a van That old transit was cold As we ran for our souls Left our hearts In the heart of that land Living for the day We were living for the day Living for the day Praying for the Days of Wine and Roses As I look back now From this closing bow Don’t see a thing from it all That I would change Nothing that I would leave On that cutting room floor For turning back Nor for turning away Living for the day We were living for the day Living for the day Praying for the Days of Wine and Roses

When Johnny Walked The Line 04:34
lyrics
buy track
Sitting in this dark and dusty room Lost and lonely In the golden Tin Pan Alley gloom Six strings rusting Out of tune Doesn’t seem I’m leaving here Anytime that soon My case is battered And the locks too bent to close The handle lying somewhere Back along the road But I was there When Johnny walked the line When Lennon wrote the riff On I Feel Fine When Dylan searched his soul For countless cussing killer rhymes Yeah I was there When Johnny walked the line Am I destined For some rich man’s mid life need Or is a glass case In some fancy restaurant The guarantee Give me care And a creative pair of hands To set me free Gimme someone with an attitude And a destiny A brand new set of twelves I’ll be singing with the band Snake belt round the case I’ll be traveling the land Play me country Play me soul Play me old time rock n roll But I was there When Johnny walked the line When Lennon wrote the riff On I Feel Fine When Dylan searched his soul For countless cussing killer rhymes Yeah I was there When Johnny walked the line Play me country Play me soul Play me old time rock n roll Play me Beatles Play me Stones Play me Fooies Skin and Bones Play me Eagles Play me Clash Play me Creedence Play me Cash Play me country Play me soul Play me rock n roll

Save Me 04:15

I’ve got two seven letter passwords to your soul I’ve got a way to make Your broken heart be whole I’ve got an understanding With the universe I’ve got the attitude To make a bad day worse Save me - take me in your arms again Save me - let me forget this has to end Save me - from all the broken dreams I’ve held Save me From myself I’ve got a photograph Of every love I’ve had And of the scars That turned the good days Into bad And I’ve got everything I ever wanted to Cos I’ve got me and this guitar and I’ve got you Save me - take me dancing in your bed Save me - let me play inside your head Save me - from all the guilt I’ve ever felt Save me From myself

So Wrong 04:44

You got me…. …..holding the baby …..stealing your thunder …..starved of affection …..over and under …..dancing with the devil in a world full of rhyme …..standing round in circles …..doing all the time You got me…. …..leading the ace …..floating like a bee …..singing like a monkey …..swinging from the tree …..hooked on religion …..high on derision …..up on a pedestal a man on a mission You got me So Wrong You got me…. …..taking it and leaving …..bitch in summer season …..pushing on my pencil …..hot uptown and mental …..jacked out on JD …..spaced out and hazy …..feeling no pain no inspiration no lady You got me So Wrong When I close my eyes I realise There ain’t nothing I can do I see it in your eyes You despise The very thought of me and you I got to get me some traction Get involved with the faction Show the promise in the wilderness The fatal attraction I got to push through the covers Burn down the others Got to dust down the lines The walk the talk and the lovers You got me So Wrong

Better Stay Home 03:50

Got a dollar in my pocket And my best blue diesels on Had another little jakey Just to get these juices flowin’ Head out for the weekend Ain’t comin’ back alone I need a dirty minded woman Just to get this party going’ Call her up she ain’t ready Got me hanging on the line Ain’t waiting any longer So I give her a miss this time She tells me “There’s a crew from Stony comin’ and they’re kicking up a storm” She says “Take this as a warning Better Stay Home” They’ve got the heart of Elvis Presley Robert Johnson’s soul I’m gonna pay some in the morning Ain’t gonna listen When my mama tells me Better Stay Home Gigging at the Belles Going down to check out the boys Turn around the corner Get a feel for that beautiful noise Guitar on eleven Drummer four on four Singer’s on the money Got then rocking out on the floor They’ve got the heart of Elvis Presley Robert Johnson’s soul I’m gonna pay some in the morning Ain’t gonna listen When my mama tells me Better Stay Home

You took my name I don’t know why You drink my wine You bleed me dry You tell me you’re the one You can make my spirit free You don’t fool me You couldn’t say one word I sing You don’t give me one fucking thing You tell me I’m the one I can make the blind eyes see You don’t fool me I only know that it ain’t right, Just let me go, open my eyes, you’d be surprised I kid myself That it’s alright I’m in this ring I’m in this fight I won’t give up I won’t give in Won’t let it be You don’t fool me

about

Got a minute?

Cain Rising springs from the UK. I’ve taken
influences from the folk and country music from my
childhood in Glasgow and married them to my love
of the music that's come from America over the last
four decades - Springsteen, Petty, Dylan. With the
band I’ve put together a selection of the songs for
this album that have gone down well at our gigs.

From the East Coast rock of The Rain to the raw
folk influenced Days of Wine and Roses and Ride
the Sun; Jenny Jenny takes you down south
Alabama way and rocks you out while When
Johnny Walked the Line shows our lyrical side.
Riding in Another Man's Car pays homage to a time
when rock was a lot simpler and "in yer face". On
the other side of the coin we don't shy away from
the Rock Ballad - Fool - or from the sultry Restless.

Featured in the band are Jez Parry on bass and his
wife Jo on backing vocals. Paul King rocks out
solidly on the drums while Dave Baldwin's vintage
Hammond organ screams at your soul.

The guitar....you got to check it out. Kevin Blake -
country genius with evil rock streak in him. Check
the outro solo on The Rain if you don't believe me.
It's up there with closing bars of Hotel California or
Mark Knofler's solo in Sultans of Swing in terms of
iconic guitar solos. The guy’s a hero of mine.

And Jamie Masters. Producer and honorary band
member. We couldn’t have done this without his
invaluable skills and exceptional ears. Patient and
diplomatic to a fault in the face of me sitting in the
back seat going “Are we there yet?”.

Me, I'm just the singer and the songwriter. It's been
my pleasure to work with these outstanding
professionals and watch them bring my babies to
life.

I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we
enjoyed creating them.

Yours,

Southside Jimmy Price
