31 Days: Day Two
2. I'm Goin' Back
Well your white hands turn 'em around, baby
Daddy's coming in an age of crime
I don't wanna hang in the heat of the night
Go straight to the dawn in the firing lights
I'm goin' back, yeah I'm on the right track
And I'm movin' out so don't book me Jack
Well I'm goin' back
There is really no earthly reason why this song is unreleased. It's a ridiculous, testosterone-filled hard classic blues rock song that should have been put on Tracks somewhere and wasn't and that's a crime. If you liked Reason to Believe on the Magic tour, you'll love this. It's the same basic theme as Open All Night (which is to say, not much of a theme), but stripped down even further and more raw than basically anything he's ever released. Some of the lyrics are complete nonsense, and really fun for it.
