Day 125: May 5: Johnnie Comes Back
"trying to keep her devils at bay"
Despite the upbeat tempo this one is pretty dark lyrically. It's a tale of someone using addiction to keep a woman interested. This may be the period that James hit his low sobriety wise- I don't know if this is based on something real but certainly addiction is on his mind. It's catchy. A solid track off of Flag.
I know the Johnnie be good line warrants some Chuck Berry- but I'm going with this one instead.
