Poor Old Lu Peapod Lyrics:
Another song that was first released on our 1992
independent album, Star-Studded-Super-Step.
Definitely a concert favorite because of it's funk
vibe and catchy, though simple, chorus. Over the
years, having someone yell out 'Peapod' during a
show was as common as someone yelling 'Freebird'.
The version on Mindsize also featured an audio
clip from Bob Ross, the happy painter, a tradition
started with the Star-Studded cut. In fact, the
name of the song came from Bob Ross' little pocket
pet, Peapod the Pocket Squirrel. The song seems to
work against itself a bit lyrically, but I think
it works out well. The verses point to the wayward
lives that we often live, straying from our walk

with the Lord. The verses also stress that we need
to "get back to His side", and how true
that is. The chorus, on the other hand, simply
says "It's alright"... which would seem
to point to a spiritual laziness, but I don't
believe that is the case. The truth is, in the
same breath that the Lord is showing us the error
of our ways, He is also comforting us and showing
us abundant love. I've been standing here so long
I don't know where I've been I've been looking
around so long I don't know what I've seen Can I
chase away the blues? And will I understand this?
I been here, there, everywhere How can I get back
to His side? It's alright I've been turning around
so long I don't know which way is right We've been
tripping around so wrong I know we've lost our
sight Can He chase away the blues? And will we
understand that? We've been here, there,
everywhere We got to get back to His side
