	Story Behind the Song This is quite simply one of the coolest blues tunes you will ever hear, no ifs, ands, or buts. This one has it all. It's a great story, it's a killer riff. To be honest the song got its start as I was doodling and trying to create a riff that was just painfully hard to play. Found two or three ways of doing things on the guitar that were new to me. Art cooks on this one and the harmonies are eerie good. Joe puts a great groove underneath it and Richard just smolders. Lyrics Went down once when I was young Me and the boys were out havin’ fun Things got a bit crazy you know how it goes Hit a sporting goods store cuz boys will be boys Did a year for stolen guns That’s how I got strike number one Many years ago I was doin’ the blow Met a guy with some money. he said who do you know So I made the connection I drove across town Had a pound of powder when they took me down Yeah there I was tryin’ to play it cool That’s how I got strike number two Now it’s been twenty years I’ve played it straight Got a wife and two girls man they are great We were out havin’ dinner a man hit on my daughter He went too far man it was a slaughter You’ld have done the same if you were me That’s how I got strike number three Now I’m going away I’m sayin’ goodbye Cuz when you have three strikes... it don’t matter why Hard not to be angry when it just isn’t right Judge shook his head and out went the lights So when common sense should set you free Hope you’re not lookin’ at strike three
