His approach to music is not different on purpose, it’s different with purpose. Twenty-eight years old and from Orangevale, California, Dawson grew up just outside the gates of Folsom Prison. He heard the sirens at night, and sang along to Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson, Marvin Gaye and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Arriving in Nashville in 2012, he put his unique skills to use authoring songs for other artists. When it came time to put together his own debut album, he teamed with equally daring producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Little Big Town, Brothers Osborne). Having co-written every track, the result is a mix of organic roots and high-voltage country, full of romance and delivered with a distinctive saw-toothed vocal. As he gets ready to join Maren Morris’ Hero Tour this year, Dawson is already establishing a reputation in Nashville as one of the most exciting modern singer-songwriters the format has ever seen.
All On Me
Devin Dawson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And be too much sometimes, I know
But baby don't let the no's and the ups and the downs
From the rollercoaster ride beat you up inside
Baby don't
But if you ever feel that way,
Don't you ever hesitate, 'cause
If you're in trouble put the fall on me
When you're mad you can take it out on me
When it don't add up you can count on me
When you're low come get high on me
Make it slow take your time on me
Said let, let it out
Come and lay on me
When it gets heavy put the weight on me
Baby put it all on me
Put it all on me
Wanna take you out on the town on my dime anytime,
Tell me when you're free
We can do anything and everything you want, yeah
Oh I wanna hear all your fears and your troubles
Strip it down, really get to know one another
When it's nobody but you and me, just us
Girl you know I'm here for you
You can lean on me anytime you need to
You got my number, you can call on me
If you're in trouble put the fall on me
When you're mad you can take it out on me
When it don't add up you can count on me
When you're low come get high on me
Make it slow take your time on me
Said let, let it out
Come and lay on me
When it gets heavy put the weight on me
Baby put it all on me
Girl, put it all on me, alright
C'mon relax your mind on me
When you need a shoulder you could cry on me
Baby you can bet your life on me
Put it all on me

If you're in trouble put the fall on me
When you're mad you can take it out on me, yeah

Said let, let it out
Come and lay on me
When it gets heavy put the weight on me
Baby put it all on me

This is awesome! I live in Kentucky but many race horses and people I’ve worked with suffered some big losses in the California wildfires.
