Life by the Drop Lyrics

Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was 'til the end
We played outside in the pouring rain
On our way up the road we started over again

You're livin' a dream....as though you'r on top
My mind is achin'....Lord it won't stop
Thats how...

    That's exactly what i thought it was about, as a recovery heroin addict myself I know all too well about living life by the drop!

    This song is about SRV and longtime friend Doyle Bramhall sobering up together. It was written by Bramhall and a woman named Barbara Logan. I met them both at a guitar show and they shared a neat tidbit about this song.
    They didn't know Stevie had recorded this song. It was found when searching for material for The Sky is Crying after Stevie had passed. Obviously it was a no brainer to put it on the album. Such a great song.
