Actually, "Life By The Drop" was written by Doyle Bramhall and Barbara Logan for the In Step release. I have always thought that the lyrics were about getting sober and the celebration of sobriety. I think Doyle and Stevie kind of grew up together and both suffered problems with booze. Anyway, if you listen to the words in this context, they seem to be about getting clean and sober. |

Cant remember which interview I read this in...but Stevie felt the song was like a conversation between his "unsober" self and his "sober" self. At least that what he said he was feeling when he recorded it.
If I find the interview I'll be sure to post it here. _________________ I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.
