Don't Get Hung Up On One...
Taking one event to make a factual pattern
Relying on a feeling that may or may not be true
Don't be so fixated in prolonging conflict
Leaving all sad and blue
"Just because in a moment of madness
I took advantage of your sweet love
Don't just hand me a lifetime of sadness
When there's so little I'm guilty of
One chain don't make no prison
Two wrongs don't make no right
One rain don't make no river
One punch don't make no fight"
Calling to the forefront everytime you been done wrong
Becomes a weight to heavy to bare
I would be pushing up daisy just from your glances
Isn't it time we cleared the air
One word doesn't make a party guilty
Two assumptions don't make a case tight
One victory doesn't make a world champion
One virtuous condemnation doesn't lead to the light
Lyrics to "One Chain Don't Make No Prison"/ Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter. (Preformed by Santana)

Um thanks but I hardly think this is worthy of the kind words. Give credit to the writers of the song. I just kind of toyed with the structure and added a few of my own words.
So most of this ink are lyrics from a song? Or are you being a bit humbling about your talent? Really curious....

As indicated by the quotation marks, the second stanza is from the song. I placed my words around that part.

This is how the song goes:
Just because in a moment of madness
I took advantage of your sweet love
Don't just hand me a lifetime of sadness
When there's so little I'm guilty of
One chain don't make no prison
Two wrongs don't make no right
One rain don't make no river
One punch don't make no fight
Can you spare me a little affection
Would that be askin' too much of you
Don't point love in another direction
I swear I'll make it up to you
One chain don't make no prison
Two wrongs don't make no right
One rain don't make no river
One punch don't make no fight
There's a bed I'm keepin' empty for you
There's a lot I know I've got to prove
Don't let a simple misunderstanding
Be a mountain that we can't move
Just because in a moment of madness
I took advantage of your sweet love
Don't just hand me a lifetime of sadness
When there's so little I'm guilty of
One chain don't make no prison
Two wrongs don't make no right
One rain don't make no river
One punch don't make no fight
Can you spare me a little affection
Would that be askin' too much of you
Don't point love in another direction
I swear I'll make it up to you
One chain don't make no prison
Two wrongs don't make no right
One rain don't make no river
One punch don't make no fight
There's a bed I'm keepin' empty for you
There's a lot I know I've got to prove
Don't let a simple misunderstanding
Be a mountain that we can't move

oH MAN bRO, jAZZ, you have taken me way, way back. The "Inner Secrets" album (1978) Aside from "One Chain", there were other killa' covers on there with "Stormy", "Well Alright" and "Dealer" just bought fire ! I remember being a young guitarist intoxicated with that incendiary tone of Devadip Carlos Santana !
I agree with Rain on this one (and I seemingly agree with her a lot)such a profound message irregardless of the source. Brilliant!

It is cool being able to hear of how other people came to pieces of music. Back in 1978, being 10 years old, my musical canvass was very limited. Aside from a song or two, Santana's wide body of great music was unexplored by me until I was in high school. In fact before I knew the back story I was puzzled as to who "Devadip" was!

You married those words to yours quite nicely bro!
Outstanding n creative :)

Thanks---all I did was take the song structure, add my own words and then lift a stanza.

Think I need to go back and listen to the song--the lyrics have me mesmerized! As do many of your penned works! :)

The album features one of the most memorable voices to sing a Santana song, Greg Walker.

Great ink yet again. Loved how you played with the lyrics of a song and made it your own.
Carlos Santana is a guitar god, like Clapton, Jeff Healy, n Stevie Vai.
Santana rules. Rock on Jazz. lol.

Carlos Santana .....
a supernaturally skilled guitarist ..
great song from which drove inspiration....
I heard that song a long long time ago .. I'll check that out again..
coming to ur ink wow all I can say its beautiful....
nice modification of the original lyrics.. sometimes the original when changed a bit gets us more connected.. I often change lyrics when I'm covering a song so I can relate to my feeling ..
write on ..

My dad used to say that being father allowed him to use "daddy logic" and thus change the words to almost any song. Never did that with a Nat King Cole song however!
