Can we be there
Oh, just think of the time
Thought of love so strange
Said you never knew
While I try my best
To cover our eyes
It's a common way to blame and hide the truth

I know that some will say it matters but little babe
But, come on and mean it to me
I need it so bad

I needed to try
I need to fall
I needed your love I'm burning away
I need never get old

Taking our time ah just standing in the rain
Meaning what you said ah and mean it to me
All of these lies oh and never again
Come on and say it now say it's a game

I know that some will say it maters but little babe
Come on and mean it to me I need it so bad
Mean it to me I need it so bad

I needed to try
Needed to fall
I needed your love I'm burning away
I need never get old

I had to come check that this wasn't a Motown banger from the 1960s.. Did these guys record the song at Capitol Records and use their famous echo chamber ?



Had to do exactly the same thing - same energy, same sound

They might have caught lightning in a bottle with this but that doesn't mean it ain't a lot of fun.

Why does this remind me of an Elvis song? Not his voice, just the music.

Love this band.   Saw them this year (2023) and they blew the house down. Just great musicianship and... FUN.  Great horn section!

Any song that can get me bouncing off my chair at least 6 inches when I'm chair-dancing deserves a "10" in my humble opinion - and that gets tougher to do when you pass 64.

Rateliff is from Hermann MO which is not too far from where I grew up near Fulton. We had a small farm out there and we would get our pigs & cows slaughtered in Hermann, at a butcher's shop named Heberle's.
Mmmm, I still remember the summer sausage we'd get from there. Fond memories of getting fat in mid-MO.

Giving it a 10. Shmelo, you need to loosen up and dance.
Posted 6 years ago by jtherieau    [ Reply ]
Schmelo might be right. Not sure what to think about this. But if it is the only roadhouse in town, I think I find myself loving it.

Just a few short years ago these guys were poor and relatively unknown and were couch surfing around Denver.  Glad to see these home boys are doing so great now.

I gotta agree with Shmelo.  I can't believe that this is new, and it is a horrible genre to begin with.

I guess growing a beard is a requirement for the job.  Denim jackets may also be.  Hats seem to be optional. They're probably a fun band to see live but I see no need to buy any of their recordings.

saw these guys at mountain jam a couple of weekends ago, and damn they were great!  far exceeded any expectations based solely on that s.o.b. song
