'The Good Spell' is a smooth guitar blues song speaking of the state of a person under the 'God-spell' or in other words the 'Gos-pel' of Jesus the Christ.
lyrics
I MAY BE DOWN IN THE VALLEY, I MAY BE UP ON THE HILL
I MAY BE AHEAD OF THE STORY, BUT IT’S ALL BEEN REAL
I MAY BE OUT ON THE RIVER, I MAY BE UNDER THE SEA
BUT I HEARD A WORD ABOUT GOD AND YOU AND ME
I MAY BE DOWN, HARD WITH THE BLUES BUT I’VE BEEN GIVEN THE GOOD NEWS
I’M UNDER THE GOOD SPELL, I’M UNDER THE GOOD SPELL
I’M UNDER THE GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD SPELL
I MAY BE DEEP IN THE CITY, I MAY BE TIED TO THE FARM
BUT I’VE BEEN READING A STORY, ‘BOUT ESCAPIN’ THE STORM
I MAY BE STUCK IN THE RAIN, OR A LONELY MAN IN THE SUN
BUT I HEARD ABOUT JESUS AND THE THING HE’S DONE
I MAY BE FOUND BROKEN AND USED BUT I’VE BEEN GIVEN THE GOOD NEWS
I MAY BE DOWN IN THE VALLEY, I MIGHT BE UP ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
BUT TIL I GET OVER, THERE AIN'T NO REASON TO STOP
