Bad Lieutenant
The Sheepdogs Lyrics

I'm a bad, bad, man
Don't you understand
I'm a bad, bad, man
Best you turn and ran
Oh oh

All my life I've been kicked around
Nobody breaks me, they cant keep me down

I'm a bad, bad man

I'm a bad man

And I pour your misfortune
And hold it in your hand
Well it's a cold hard bargain
For you to understand
Woah oh

Up all night, I haven't slept for days
Do you wrong, in the worst of ways

I'm a bad bad man
I'm a bad man

I pay the price
Such a heavy tole
It's cold and dark
Way down in the hole

I'm a bad, bad man
I'm a bad man

"From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo. Soulful vocalizations, everybody harmonizing, old-school guitar chops winding, riffing and chiming, and a grooving rhythm section that keeps it all going. Having already cemented their reputation as dynamic performers in their hometown, the Sheepdogs now turn their attention to spreading their affection for rock n roll cross-country. They have spent the last year covering the great white north, playing from Vancouver island to Montreal. They have played festivals, headlined a bill during 2007's Junofest, opened for the likes of Matt Mays and el Torpedo, and performed before thousands at 2006's Saskatoon Centennial Celebration. In January 2007 they released their debut LP Trying to Grow, a collection of guitar-driven originals that recall classic rockers like the Stones, CCR, and the Kinks. The album's title-track was featured in a province-wide campaign in their native Saskatchewan. Early 2008 has already seen the completion of their follow-up album, which mixes elements of southern rock and moody soul with gleeful straight-forward rockers. Once again, the boys are hitting the road, spreading their rock n roll revival to the rest of Canada."
