Where Would You Be Now?

But for some fine docs and a whole lot of toxic chemicals, I wouldn’t still be walking around above ground. And I’ve survived to a time when I may actually have some treatment options if that cancer in black comes roaring back. So, I’m just feeling lucky and grateful today and a new version of the Doobie Brothers’ “Long Train Runnin’” seemed like a good fit…



Just around the corner
A little while we hear
We can see them new drugs come
And we all will stand and cheer
Without drugs
Where would we be now
Without drugs

You know I did some chemo
Put me on my back
I lost my tan and my sanity
And they’re never comin' back
Without drugs
Where would I be right now
Without drugs

Well it’s clinical trial time
For this patient stagin’ late
Gotta keep on fusin' lotsa
'Cause you know I’m dodgin' fate
Without drugs
Where would I be now, na-na-now
Without drugs

The Hotel Melanoma
All the guests are livin’ great
Gotta keep on seein’ doctors
And you know they’re runnin’ late
Without docs
Where would we be now
Without docs

Well the IVs keep on drippin'
And the room spins 'round and 'round
And my bed rails are cold and hard
For awhile they won’t go down
Without drugs
Where would I be right now
Without drugs
Where would I be now
