Lyrics:

Have you seen my hands, just look at ‘em shake.
And the song just keeps on repeating, drop the needle again.
And I dance with your ghost. But that ain’t the way…
I can’t move on and I can’t stay the same.

And all my friends say…

And the song just keeps on repeating, drop the needle again.
And I dance with your ghost.

“Hey, turn the record over.
Hey, I’ll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over…
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.”

Have you seen my heart, have you seen how it bleeds?
And the nights are so long, baby, out here in the deep.
The tick, ticking of hours lonely… I hear the alarm.
I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms,

But “Better Sense” says…

”Hey, turn the record over.
Hey, I’ll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over…
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.”

And all my friends say…

”Hey, turn the record over.
Hey, I’ll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over…
Let her go, let somebody else lay at my feet.”

Where you used to be…
where you used to be.
Where you used to be, here with me

Pickup the deluxe edition of The Gaslight Anthem’s Handwritten here:

Proving that punk and country go together like peas and carrots, The Gaslight Anthem has churned out four pure gold records over the past few years. Aside from being music critic darlings, they have gotten next-to-zero love from the general public. Let’s band together and change that. Check out 45, Mae, and their rendition of Tom Petty’s You Got Lucky.

GA’s previous albums, American Slang, and The ’59 Sound, are must haves as well. This is pure rock goodness sprinkled with a little country/folk funk. How can you go wrong with that combination of influences?

Here is the video for The Gaslight Anthem’s American Slang from the album of the same title. Let the chiming guitar and driving beat heal all that ails you.
