DESCRIPTION:
"Tappin' On An Empty Head" is the fourth track from Ernie & The Automatics' 2009 album Low Expectations, which peaked at #7 on Billboard's Blues Albums chart. The group was well known for containing two former members of arena rock band Boston (guitarist Barry Goudreau and drummer Sib Hashian).

Lyrics:
What am I trying to say
I can't remember yesterday
Where did I lose my mind
The little sense God gave me got left behind

What was it that I just said
These days it feels like
I'm just tappin' on an empty head

Stop, oh my mind's on fire
Wait, mmm, the fire has died
How am I supposed to know
Where I'm supposed to be or which way to go

I'm sinkin' just like a piece of lead
Well I'm thinkin' I've got nothin'
I'm just tappin' on an empty head

I've got questions about history
It's all, it's all a big mystery

Am I awake or just sleepin' in bed
Am I dreamin', is there an echo
Or am I just tappin' on an empty head

Tappin' on an empty head
Tappin' on an empty head
Well I'm tappin' on an empty head
Yeah, tappin' on an empty head
