If you only could see what you have got
If you only could be who you are not
If you only could love the things you know
If you only could let the spirit flow
Chorus:
Walking talking too far from the light
Living breathing in colorless black and white
If you only could feel the strength in dreams
If you only could hear the voice of truth
If you only could get up and stand out in the center
If you only could stop thinking only of you
Bridge:
Hey there you
What\'s your claim
While you\'re out there
Running in circles you don\'t understand
Hey this world\'s got you down
Hey this world\'s got you down
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: May 03, 2013 - 12:00 They out-Dead the Dead. A nice nod-your-head-and-dance-along-while-drinking-a-lot-of-beer tune. There several acts with 'buffalo' in the name. Donna the. Grant Lee. According to the RP website, there's Tom and Norton. Gee, a run on the city or the animal. |

I love a good jam but this one goes past the peak and drifts down the other side. |
| gzachman | Posted: May 03, 2013 - 11:58 First saw them at Telluride Bluegrass some )(*&*&^%$#@@!@# years ago.......AWESOME!!!! Only CD I bought from the whole show. Will follow Donna and her Buffalo forever!! Thank you RP for sending them out! G |

| Toke (Bournemouth UK) | Posted: Dec 29, 2012 - 05:47 jeez every time I hear this track I think gotta buy this Album trouble being I shall have to save me pennies for quite a period. And as others have commented such similarities to The Dead. |
| IndyDoug (Indianapolis) | Posted: Dec 29, 2012 - 05:47 A fantastic concocture of folk, the blues and a little of the Dead. |

| icemang (Boston & DC, mostly) | Posted: Mar 20, 2012 - 09:52 Such an outstanding band with great energy and a positive message, do yourself a favor and see them when they come around (easier to do in the Eastern US than elsewhere but...). Keep on rockin Jed and Tara! |
| egroman (chicago) | Posted: Feb 17, 2012 - 16:00 I love DTB. This one of theirs bests. Great live too |

The Rongo was (and still might be) one of their regular stops. |
| d-don (Oregon) | Posted: May 18, 2011 - 09:40 With a name like Donna the Buffalo how could we not like them? Good hippie groove this a.m. |

| james_of_tucson (Tucson AZ) | Posted: May 03, 2010 - 13:23 This band has a song ("Life is Strange") that seriously had potential to be a "hit", but they never, ever play it in concert. Guys, you should play your strongest number, maybe as an encore at least, every time you take the stage. |
