I Don't Get By
The Sheepdogs Lyrics
I don't get by
I just sit around wondering why?
Hold my hand
Take me from this land
No need to ride up to the heart of the storm
When you get close you feel your heart has nothing to go on
Can't chase the face, the sound you writes away
I told you too late and now there is nothing to say
I just sit around wondering why?
Hold my hand
Take me from this land
I don't get by
I just sit around wondering why?
Hold my hand
Take me from this land
Don't take it in by the sights you see
You feel the sounds of this world will get the better of me
Acting very strong, like you have no choice
Now you don't you hear me singing to you with a brother's voice
I don't get by
I just sit around wondering why?
Hold my hand
Take me from this land
I don't get by
I just sit around wondering why?
Hold my hand
Take me from this land
I don't get by
I just sit around wondering why?
Hold my hand
Take me from this land
I don't get by
I just sit around getting high
Hold my hand
Take me from this land
I don't get by
I just sit around

"From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo. Soulful vocalizations, everybody harmonizing, old-school guitar chops winding, riffing and chiming, and a grooving rhythm section that keeps it all going. Having already cemented their reputation as dynamic performers in their hometown, the Sheepdogs now turn their attention to spreading their affection for rock n roll cross-country. They have spent the last year covering the great white north, playing from Vancouver island to Montreal. They have played festivals, headlined a bill during 2007's Junofest, opened for the likes of Matt Mays and el Torpedo, and performed before thousands at 2006's Saskatoon Centennial Celebration. In January 2007 they released their debut LP Trying to Grow, a collection of guitar-driven originals that recall classic rockers like the Stones, CCR, and the Kinks. The album's title-track was featured in a province-wide campaign in their native Saskatchewan. Early 2008 has already seen the completion of their follow-up album, which mixes elements of southern rock and moody soul with gleeful straight-forward rockers. Once again, the boys are hitting the road, spreading their rock n roll revival to the rest of Canada."

I love these guys. Always have. They have that old time southern rock feel to them that us young wild childs can love. Our parents had The Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but we've got The Sheepdogs. And I'm quite pleased with that
Gerald Dixon Cummings
We still have the Band & Lynyrd Skynyrd & the Sheepdogs...us old fuckers have it all...and don't you kids forget it. If it wasn't for us old fuckers, you kids wouldn't exist...in more ways than not.

Heard this song for the first time in a quiet early morning cafe yesterday here in Sydney (Oz) on a superb sound system and stopped everything. Goosebumps. LOVE it! Aural nourishment for the heart and soul. Have played it at least 20 times since ;-) Bit late to The Sheepdogs party however as the ole cliche goes, better late than never. Yihawww!
