Tedeschi Trucks Band - Let Me Get By Album Lyrics

---

Anyhow

Running from a bitter taste
Took a rest from all the chase
Feeling something anchored on my soul
Played the game by all the rules
Learning lessons no one gets to choose

Everywhere I turn, here I am
So walk away with me
I'll show you that

[Chorus:]
I would go anywhere, anytime
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow

Woke up feeling all adrift
Pieced together what I missed
Realized that you pushed me out to sea
Followed from a lost place
Dealing with the wreckage in my soul

Everywhere I turn, there you are
So walk away with me
I'll show you that

[Chorus:]
I would go anywhere, anytime
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow

No one cares to loan a dime
Sorry if it cost you time
What'd you expect a desperate man to do?
Cain and Abel lit the flame
We can never go that way again

Everywhere I turn, here we are
So walk away with me
I'll show you that

[Chorus:]
I would go anywhere, anytime
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow

Laugh About It

You can laugh about it
Something's in the air
You can cry about it
No one really cares
No, nobody sees it

You can sing about it
Sing it in a prayer
You can scream about it
Hands up in the air

No, you're not s'posed to feel it
But now, now that we've seen it

[Chorus:]
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don't let nobody ever turn you 'round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and trouble
Is worth the chance

You can talk about it
It was always there
Ain't no doubt about it
It ain't always fair

So where do we take it from here?
When life is what we make it

[Chorus:]
Rise up, right where they pushed you down
Don't let nobody ever turn you 'round
Try, try to believe it
All the caring and hard work and trouble
Is worth the chance

Stand up while you still can
Rise up, it's worth a chance
Rise up

Don't Know What It Means

When the sun comes shining through
Lighting up what's left of you
And you put it all aside for another day
Pick it up and rearrange it
Though you know that you won't change it
Cuz you've always been a stranger anyway

Now you left your window open
Just to keep your spirit rolling
But you're hoping that your mind will close the door
Take it up two steps higher
When you're drowning in the fire
The hope you had helped you on along the way

[Chorus:]
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don't know what it means
Things ain't what they seem
And you can't just turn the page and let it go
Things that you've been told
Are deep down in your soul

Now don't make your move too early
Or you'll show up in a hurry
You can fall down and surely lose your way
Heaven help you if you mean it
Cuz there's those who would defeat it
They can turn you around and take it all away

Now don't look down in the dirt
Just to find out what you're worth
Cuz that song and dance was never worth the time
So work hard and do it right
Learn to speak up and to fight
The truth is gonna beat them down the line

[Chorus:]
If the story feels exactly like a dream
Don't know what it means
Things ain't what they seem
And you can't just turn the page and let it go
Things that you've been told
Are deep down in your soul

Right On Time

Apologies for last night
My conscience wouldn't let me sleep
The words kept following me

A miracle that's come undone
The complications of the week
What is that you lack?
What is that you seek?

Does a smile come alive
When you share the wine?
And the love that you make
Is it right on time?

Poor old Romeo
Juliet is at his feet
Maybe she's just asleep

If sorry doesn't get you home
Or dignity in defeat
What is it that you lack?
What is it that you seek?

Hey, it's not yours and it's not mine
Hey, I'm just here to share your time
Don't you pay those spinning wheels no mind

Let Me Get By

I told you that times are a-changin'
I've got a body to move
If you're just willing to stand there
With nothing to say or to prove

Even a king gives sometimes
Even if he don't care

Forget what we said last December
Cuz It's been a hell of a year
We'll leave all the words with the summer
Remember what brought us up here

Somewhere the sky is crying
I'm where the air is clear

[Chorus:]
Let me get by
(If you're just gonna stand there)
Let me get by
(Get out of my way)
Let me get by
Cuz time won't wait

The message that came in a bottle
Said you sure got a problem with me
So we made you a bed out of roses
But you were the Prince of the Pea

Even a king gives sometimes
Even if he don't care

[Chorus:]
Let me get by
(If you're just gonna stand there)
Let me get by
(Get out of my way)
Let me get by
Cuz time won't wait

Just As Strange

I can't leave that urge alone
When I lay it down it says, "Come on!"
I raised the devil on my own
Gonna scratch and claw until it's gone

[Chorus:]
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line

I'm going to live better, baby
My wave's gonna break at dawn
I'm going to sweat it out until I make it
And be free from these chains that bound

[Chorus:]
Just as strange to me
Weighing on my mind
Riding on your trail
Pay it down the line

Crying Over You / Swamp Raga For Hozapfel, Lefebvre, Flute And Harmonium

Why am I fixing to put you on a pedestal?
If the grass is greener, I think it might be chemical
My accent's gone from major down to minor
In all this scene, you'd think I could find a

[Chorus:]
A strange and invincible
Sky comes crashing through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
(Boo hoo hoo hoo)

I'm glad I caught you snooping 'round the swimming pool
Before I dove in made myself a bigger fool
I took my time and checked my Ps and Qs
Played my hand and now I'm rid of you

[Chorus:]
A strange and invincible
Sky comes crashing through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
(Boo hoo hoo hoo)

Really, really want to live without you
Really, really want to deal without you
Really, really want to grow without you
Really, really want to know without you

[Chorus:]
A strange and invincible
Sky comes crashing through
This crying over you
Strange and invincible
Sky comes breaking through
This crying over you
(Boo hoo hoo hoo)

Hear Me

When I watched you walk away
I knew I'd gone too far
I'm on my knees to plead for mercy
Don't want to live and hurt alone
And if you feel like I feel

Then come on, baby
You must remember
That we're one in a million years
And then maybe you will remember
That we were always going to work it out

[Chorus:]
I just wanna say
(I don't wanna see that day)
I don't wanna to wait
until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don't wanna
live in pain
I don't wanna
love in vain
Can you hear me?

Since you saved me from myself
I'm going to live for love
Ride the wind wherever it may take us
And lay it down and grow
If you feel like I feel

Then come on, baby
You must remember
That we're one in a million years
And then maybe we could do it over
Hold each other til the world just disappears

[Chorus:]
I just wanna say
(I don't wanna see that day)
I don't wanna to wait
until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don't wanna
live in pain
I don't wanna
love in vain
Can you hear me?

If you turn your back on me
I won't believe you don't believe
All the days that pass us by
Our flame will carry on

[Chorus:]
I just wanna say
(I don't wanna see that day)
I don't wanna to wait
until our love is gone
Come on and feel me
I don't wanna
live in pain
I don't wanna
love in vain
Can you hear me?

I Want More

Caught up in loneliness
The blues beget the blues
Open up your eyes
And do what you wanna do well
I'll wait 'til morning comes before I'll go

So do what you want to do
The way that your mama taught you
Do what you need, baby
I want to hear you sing
I got your rhythm alright

Open up my heart
And do what you want to do well
But I won't ever believe
That your love is all you can give me
Our worlds are one in the same
So let's make it all right

So do what you want to do
The way that your mama taught you
Do what you need, baby
I want to hear you say

[Chorus:]
Nothing can hold me down
I'm taking the long way 'round
Can't get enough, I want more
When I come around this time
There's nowhere to run and hide
I want more, more of you
All of you

Did ya, did ya give enough?
Did we, did we live enough?
Did we, did we share enough?
Did we, did we care enough?

Don't you hold it inside
I wanna hear you

[Chorus:]
Nothing can hold me down
I'm taking the long way 'round
Can't get enough, I want more
When I come around this time
There's nowhere to run and hide
I want more, more of you
All of you

In Every Heart

In every heart there's a name
Under the perfume and all the blame
In every heart

In every story a face
It won't ever leave you, so dream away
In every heart

[Chorus:]
Just in time to tell the tale
(You'd never believe it)
Just before your ship sets sail
(You'd never believe it)
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart

In every soul there's a psalm
Coming to find you to sing along
In every heart

In every life there's a rhyme
Raise up the covers and let it shine
In every heart

[Chorus:]
Just in time to tell the tale
(You'd never believe it)
Just before your ship sets sail
(You'd never believe it)
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart

In every heart there's a book
Turning the pages, how long it took
In every heart

In every heart there's a voice
Getting a word in through all that noise
In every heart

[Chorus:]
Just in time to tell the tale
(You'd never believe it)
Just before your ship sets sail
(You'd never believe it)
Comes and finds you without fail
In every heart
In every heart
