Description
Here's another Cuppa Joe withe additonal help of Jiguma and Joe Brady.
Jiguma had the common sense to relace my genre bending bass stylings with something more appropriate to the tune - while also adding a tambourine track to kick this tune along.
Joe Brady took up the harmonica challenge that someone threw out in an earlier comment.
Thanks to both of you for your fine contributions. And again, thanks to brother Will for his excellent lyrics.
Now - do we have any fiddle players out there?

Lyrics
God stopped by the other day
to see how we were doin'
he closed his eyes and shook his head
at all the wrack and ruin
so I made a pot of coffee
I took his coat and hat
we sat at the kitchen table
had a little chat
He said
Being everywhere all the time
isn't very easy
the universe is awfully big
drives me kinda crazy
but I like this little planet
this one that you call earth
I like your funny stories
like the one about the virgin birth
but it gets so damn confusing
you call me by so many names
you get so high and mighty
you make outrageous claims
each group pretends to know me
my motives and my aims
you get all hot bothered
play your tragic games
He took a sip of coffee
sat back in his chair
I saw the questions on his face
the pain and worry there
Then he said
I got this business started
three billion years ago
then I kinda let it happen
to see where it would go
I had a few ideas
I sorta had a plan
but in the end I though I'd
leave it up to man
Right now I'm disappointed
by the misery I see
I think you've made some progress
but your less than you can be
and it's clear your biggest problem
is how you think of me
to make the world a better place
all you have to do
is fill your heart with peace and love
like my heart's filled for you
take your love and share it
with everyone you see
take your love and live it
that's how you honor me
He thanked me for the coffee
he headed for the door
I had a million questions
I wanted to hear more
but just as I began to speak
I realized he was gone
and all my million questions
were answered by this song
to see how we were doin'
he closed his eyes and shook his head
at all the wrack and ruin
so I made a pot of coffee
I took his coat and hat
we sat at the kitchen table
had a little chat
He said
Being everywhere all the time
isn't very easy
the universe is awfully big
drives me kinda crazy
but I like this little planet
this one that you call earth
I like your funny stories
like the one about the virgin birth
but it gets so damn confusing
you call me by so many names
you get so high and mighty
you make outrageous claims
each group pretends to know me
my motives and my aims
you get all hot bothered
play your tragic games

I loved this song - enjoyed playing along too (despite the tricky little holds ;) Nice blowing Joe. Fender Precision bass and plastic yellow tambourine for me.
