Lyrics:

I gotta get myself
Off the side of the road
I gotta get myself
Off the side of the road
Things are lookin’ clear as they’ve ever been
Don’t know how it’ll end but I know where to begin
I gotta get myself
Off the side of the road
I got to quit lying to myself
And let the truth be told
I got to quit lying to myself
And let the truth be told
Yeah I woke up burned out by the sun
Tired of layin’ still so I’m movin’ along
I got to quit lying to myself
And let the truth be told, yes

My head is heavy and my heart is empty
But my spirit is strong and my legs are ready

Whooo oooo oooo, hey hey
I’ve gotta pick myself up off the ground
Whooo oooo oooo, hey hey
I’ve gotta pick myself up off the ground
I gotta hunt myself down a brand new home
I gotta hunt myself down a brand new home
Now I got the answer to my biggest question
Had to lose where I was to get my direction

I gotta hunt myself down
A brand new home
The tears that I’m hiding
No, they ain’t for cryin’
The tears that I’m hiding
No, they ain’t for cryin’
I’m never gonna let em start spilling out
Cause they pour down my body and they flood the ground
The tears that I’m hiding
No, they ain’t for cryin’

Whooo oooo oooo, hey hey
I’ve gotta pick myself up off the ground
Whooo oooo oooo, hey hey
I’ve gotta pick myself up off the ground
Let the truth be told
Let the truth be told
Let the truth be told
Let the truth be told
Let the truth be told
Let the truth be told

I gotta get myself up
Off the side of the road
Quit lying to myself
And let the truth be told
My head is heavy and my heart is empty
But my spirit is strong and my legs are ready
I gotta get myself
Off the side of the road
Quit lying to myself
And let the truth be told

Whooo oooo oooo, hey hey
I’ve gotta pick myself up off the ground
Whooo oooo oooo, hey hey
I’ve gotta pick myself up off the ground

This LA power trio delivers gritty, blues-infused rock has been hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the ten artists you need to know. With a powerful beat simple enough for basic amoeba to dance to, Off the Ground, is perfect for a windows-down cruise with a heavy foot on the gas pedal. The slide guitar and sick bass line are absolutely infectious. Better still, the entire album—beginning to end—is spectacular. This album has quickly become a favorite here at Dances With Bass Industries.

And here is the video for Broken, also from the Give It Back to You record. Seriously, folks, if you like straightforward rock and roll that is made for a hardwood barroom floor and the smell of beer on the tap, The Record Company is just the ticket.

Lastly, because we’re givers here at the DWB studios, here is a live version of Hard Day Coming Down, recorded by the band in what the call a Living Room Concert.
