Written by Jim Knable
Lead singer: Jim Knable

lyrics

I will fight the hungry lions
'til my duty calls to ride
I will try to keep on trying
Through a silver lining tide
I will wear a darker shade of red or blue
I will do just what I'm made on earth to do
Long as I can do it, know I'll get on through it
Long as I can do it with you

I will wander greener pastures
I will tend forgotten weeds
I will squander your disasters
I will ponder last year’s seeds
I will wear the foot that fits the other shoe
I will do just what I'm good on Earth to do
Long as I can do it, know I'll get on through it
Long as I can do it with you

I will go into the mountain
Take a test of fire and flood
I will hold my fingers counting
All the days of flesh and blood
I will shudder just to think that it's all true
I will do just what I'm made on earth to do
Long as I can do it, know I'll get on through it
Long as I can do it with you

I will ride the train or carriage
I will ride the rusty rail
I will go down to the marriage
I will raise the wedding veil
And if I fail at least I tried my best for you
I will do just what I'm made on earth to do
Long as I can do it
Know I'll get on through it
Long as I can do it with you

Jim Knable plays with and without various incarnations of The Randy Bandits, formed in 2002, but if he plays with a band, it always ends up being The Randy Bandits, despite the occasionally misleading billing. Studio albums: BLUE REUNION (2020), GOLDEN ARROW (2009), REDBEARD (2006), GREEN MAN (2007-18) form the core of Jim Knable's songwriting output, but the crust is also worth exploring. ... more
