This second solo effort by Dale Thompson is much different from his first. He combined the talents of the region's most talented musicians to assist him this time. This recording, like his first, is a concept that shows one man's struggle through life. Many of the stories that are incorporated are
from Dale's past. Using real horns, keyboards, and many other unusual instruments, Dale produced a very believable blues recording. This record is available in stores and was originally distributed by Rugged Records.


Lyrics:
Bullet proof body
walking through walls
Vegas like a birth mark
let the chips lie where they fall Gun powder on his corn flakes get's him high like caffeine
Rolled his own cigarettes mind full of jealousy
Brass knuckle collection good with a tire iron
Prozac kept him steady
black coffee was the snake charm
Never bit his nails cause his knuckles drug the ground
Now he's fishing with Jesus outside of town
Used to drink the muddy water drank it from a bone
Danced with spirits promenading from stone to stone
Bruised like the Bismarck heart like the arctic ice
Eyes as big as half dollars When he threw the dice
He found love on three rusty nails
Surrendered all on three rusty nails
Used to sharpen his fist on a smooth wet stone
Scars stitched like a railroad track up and down his arms
Then he saw life cursed upon a tree
Like a lone flower at cave hill cemetery
