Rehab was originally formed as a trio: Steaknife, Danny Alexander, and Brooks Buford. Early on, they released their first album "To Whom It May Consume" produced by Steaknife and Brooks Buford. Soon after, Epic/Sony offered a record deal.
Rehab's major label debut, Southern Discomfort, hit stores in October 2000. With band members Danny Alexander and Brooks, hailing from the city of Warner Robins, south of Macon, Georgia (they dedicated a song to their hometown called "This Town"). Their debut album starts with a skit of them breaking out of a rehabilitation facility. The album went on to sell over 140,000 units, and produced such hits as "Sittin' At A Bar", "It Don't Matter" (Modern Rock Top 20), "Rattle My Cage", and featured such guests as Cee-Lo, Goodie Mob, Steaknife, and Cody Chestnutt.
After 2 years on the road supporting the Vans Warped Tour and playing with bands such as Linkin Park, Danny called it quits over a difference in creative view points.
On July 12, 2005, Rehab re-emerged with a new album "Graffiti the World". The new Rehab was brought together by original band member Danny "Boone" Alexander. Joining him were longtime musicians Mike Hartnett on lead guitar, Hano Leathers on bass, Chris Hood on drums, Foz on rhythm guitar, and DJ Chris Crisis. An additional and unofficial member of the group, though, by the name of Demun Jones often steps in to perform the raps that Brooks once sang. The seven put together new tracks and re-worked old classics with help from local Atlanta producer Billy Hume.
Graffiti the World features the hits "What Do you Want From Me", "Graffiti The World","Last Tattoo" and "This Town" Danny Boone(a virtual musical tour of the groups hometown beginning in the 80's).
In 2008 Rehab decided to undergo a mini-tour focused in the southeast making stops in Georgia, Alabama, Carolina, Tennessee and Florida.
Brooks Buford, after the group's initial separation, went on to record several projects, Straight Outta Rehab, which was never released due to Artista going out of business. He is currently working on a follow-up album titled "Suspicious Package" as well as a side project with Ashley Alan-Lee and Tommy Henriksen called The Audio Club. In late 2005, Brooks went on to host the MTV series Trailer Fabulous and in 2006 the MTV International series "Bustamove".
Steaknife (Denny Campbell) was scheduled to release a CD under Priority Records but was later dropped from the label. Denny has stated that he wasn't very fond of these tracks. He has released an album with friend Lindsay Few titled "Trouble The Water" which is highly religion based. Denny is currently in the studio recording his first full length studio album tentatively titled "White Noize".
The "WhiteNoize" album produced by Steaknife (Denny Campbell and Soulful-I (Jared Adair)) has been released on their myspace page under the user name of "snowblindwhitenoize". Steaknife is currently working with Danny "Boone" Alexander and Brooks Buford, the original members of Rehab on a new album scheduled to come out sometime in April, as is Soulfuli on his own solo album called "Head high"
Universal Republic Records signed the Warner Robins mash-up group in May 2008 and will be releasing the band's 2005 independent release, Graffiti The World, later in the spring with 3 additional never-before-heard tracks.
A short west coast September tour with Pop Rock and Country crossover artist Kid Rock, and a new video release of their newly titled "Bartender song" formerly known as "Sittin at a bar" which was recorded with Country Superstar Hank Williams Jr.
Their newly released video can be found posted and played on CMT's Top 20 Countdown show staring Lance Smith and can also be found on MTV's website along with the brief overview and history of the band.
Lawn Chair High
Rehab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just another lawn chair high
And I'm sittin' in the carport
Lookin' down the driveway
Watchin' all the cars go by
And it's alright...it's alright
And it's alright...it's alright
And while the world trippin'
I'm sippin'
I really don't give a flyin' paraplegic chicken
Watchin' the cars
We don't need bars
We got a garage
A cooler full of beers
Fuck an entourage
My life is one big funny mirage
I slept all day
And I'm a sit and let the cd play
My wife is a thousand miles away
And I've got xanax all the way
No work, all play
My attitude is go away
I'm talkin' to people
I'm through with this episode
I'm workin' on a sequel
I take my iced coffee with 2 equal
I'm too evil
At least that's what people think
You wonder why I drink
'cause I've done it all, seen it all
And it don't really matter
I might as well sit in the carport
Talk shit and get fatter
It's just another lawn chair high
People rollin' by, "hi"
Look here, don't die
Well it's just another lawn chair high
It's just another lawn chair high
And I'm sittin' in the carport
Lookin' down the driveway
Watchin' all the cars go by
And it's alright...it's alright
And it's alright...it's alright
Hell yeah, got my boombox
This tune rocks
The boondocks
Back as well
Packin' the bag of the wacky tobacco
Pack a bowl up
You can stack or fold up the lawnchair
I don't care
Got a brew in the igloo cooler, too
Plus a barrage of puzzlein' thoughts
In my garage, guzzelin' heinekin
My mind I cannot focus
'cause I'm blind again
So find a friend to tell it to
I'm tryin' to relax, dawg
I ain't tryin' to hear about
The guns, loot and cars
Or one silicone titty, pity
Done tootin', bars
I'm tryin' to catch the escalator
To the sun, moon and stars, bra
You gotta love it, whoo
Like jimmy buffet, yeah
Give me some stuff that I can handle
And fuck it
And please hold my calls
'cause I'm out for the night
Mosquito bites and lightnin' bugs
Got neon bars
You better recamuthafuckinize
Give me that funnel and run along
Youngins
Well it's just another lawn chair high
It's just another lawn chair high
And I'm sittin' in the carport
Lookin' down the driveway
Watchin' all the cars go by
And it's alright...it's alright
And it's alright...it's alright
Hell yeah
I got it all goin', I know'n
And there ain't nothin' that you can
Tell me in this moment
And I'm hopin' this evening
I'm leaving all my troubles inside
While I sit and get by
With what I really do best
And if I may suggest you do the same
Which is nothing
And that ain't frontin'
I'm steady comin' with it
Talkin' to myself and all else
It's gettin' figured out
As'n I gets further along
Turn the right into wrong
Change the words to this song
I know I ain't singin' along
But deep inside it feels on
So I'm a carry on
Sippin', skippin'
Every other idea that
That runs up in here
'cause it's clear, they multiply
Fly back between both of my ears
And who cares?
I've got a minute if you're with it
We can get it
Set it in the chair
Somewhere in the front, out there
Holler in the air
"We the shit over here!"
Well it's just another lawn chair high
It's just another lawn chair high
And I'm sittin' in the carport
Lookin' down the driveway
Watchin' all the cars go by
And it's alright...it's alright
And it's alright...it's alright

He talks about how he wants to avoid the entanglement of other people's problems and live his life as he wants to.

Well it's just another lawn chair high
This is just another moment where I am relaxing in my carport on a lawn chair
And I'm sittin' in the carport
I am sitting in the carport
Lookin' down the driveway
I am facing the driveway and looking down it
Watchin' all the cars go by
I am watching all the cars pass by as they drive on the road
And it's alright...it's alright
I am content with my situation at this moment
Hey Reese, check this out
I am addressing someone named Reese and asking them to look at what I am doing
And while the world trippin'
While other people in the world are busy or stressed out
I'm sippin'
I am enjoying a drink
I really don't give a flyin' paraplegic chicken
I do not care at all
Watchin' the cars
I am continuing to watch the cars pass by
We don't need bars
We do not need to go out to a bar to have fun
We got a garage
We have a garage that we can use as a hangout spot
A cooler full of beers
I have a cooler that is full of beer
Fuck an entourage
I do not need a group of people to hang out with
My life is one big funny mirage
My life is like a funny hallucination
I slept all day
I have been sleeping all day
And I'm a sit and let the cd play
I am going to sit and listen to a CD
My wife is a thousand miles away
My wife is far away from me
And I've got xanax all the way
I have Xanax with me
No work, all play
I am not working right now, just relaxing
My attitude is go away
I want to be left alone
I'm talkin' to people
I am having conversations with others
I'm through with this episode
I am finished with this situation
I'm workin' on a sequel
I am looking for a follow-up to this experience
I take my iced coffee with 2 equal
I drink iced coffee with two packets of Equal sweetener
I'm too evil
I have a bad attitude
At least that's what people think
That is the impression others have of me
You wonder why I drink
You may be curious why I am drinking
'cause I've done it all, seen it all
I have had all kinds of experiences and seen everything
And it don't really matter
These experiences do not matter to me
I might as well sit in the carport
Since these experiences do not matter, I may as well just sit in the carport
Talk shit and get fatter
I can talk and relax and not worry about gaining weight
People rollin' by, "hi"
People driving by are saying hello
Look here, don't die
I am saying to look at me, not to die
Hell yeah, got my boombox
I have my boombox with me
This tune rocks
This music is great
The boondocks
I am in a remote area
Back as well
I am happy to be back here
Packin' the bag of the wacky tobacco
I am packing a bag of marijuana
Pack a bowl up
I am packing a bowl with marijuana
You can stack or fold up the lawnchair
I do not care how you put away the lawnchair
I don't care
I do not have a preference
Got a brew in the igloo cooler, too
I have a cold beer in the cooler
Plus a barrage of puzzlein' thoughts
I have many confusing thoughts
In my garage, guzzelin' heinekin
I am drinking Heineken in my garage
My mind I cannot focus
I am having trouble concentrating
'cause I'm blind again
I am confused again
So find a friend to tell it to
I need to talk to someone about my problems
I'm tryin' to relax, dawg
I am trying to relax
I ain't tryin' to hear about
I am not interested in hearing about
The guns, loot and cars
I do not want to hear about materialistic things
Or one silicone titty, pity
I do not want to hear about fake breasts
Done tootin', bars
I am done with bad experiences
I'm tryin' to catch the escalator
I am looking to escape and find a better situation
To the sun, moon and stars, bra
I want to find something beautiful and inspiring
You gotta love it, whoo
You have to love this moment
Like jimmy buffet, yeah
This moment is like a Jimmy Buffet song
Give me some stuff that I can handle
I want things that are easy and manageable
And fuck it
I do not care
And please hold my calls
I do not want to be bothered
'cause I'm out for the night
I am not available for the rest of the night
Mosquito bites and lightnin' bugs
I am experiencing the not-so-great parts of being outside
Got neon bars
There are neon bars in the area
You better recamuthafuckinize
You better recognize
Give me that funnel and run along
Give me the funnel and leave me alone
Youngins
Young people
Hell yeah
Yes, definitely
I got it all goin', I know'n
I know what I am doing
And there ain't nothin' that you can
There is nothing anyone can
Tell me in this moment
Tell me right now
And I'm hopin' this evening
I hope that this night
I'm leaving all my troubles inside
I am not letting my problems bother me
While I sit and get by
While I relax
With what I really do best
Doing what I enjoy most
And if I may suggest you do the same
I suggest that you do the same thing
Which is nothing
Just relax and do nothing
And that ain't frontin'
I am not lying or exaggerating
I'm steady comin' with it
I am remaining consistent
Talkin' to myself and all else
I am talking to myself and others around me
It's gettin' figured out
Everything is becoming clear
As'n I gets further along
As I continue on with my life
Turn the right into wrong
I am making the right things turn out wrong
Change the words to this song
I can change the lyrics to this song in order to fit my situation
I know I ain't singin' along
I know that I am not singing along to this song
But deep inside it feels on
Despite not singing along, I am still enjoying this moment
So I'm a carry on
I will continue on with my life
Sippin', skippin'
I am sipping my drink and skipping over things I do not care about
Every other idea that
Other ideas that come to mind
That runs up in here
That come up in my mind
And who cares?
It does not matter
I've got a minute if you're with it
I have some time if you want to join me
We can get it
We can do it
Set it in the chair
We can set ourselves in the chairs
Somewhere in the front, out there
Somewhere near the front of the house
Holler in the air
Yell into the air
"We the shit over here!"
We are awesome over here
