Did you drop your baby at the bottom of the blues?
Well, everybody's gotta suffer for all the things you choose
You say, I need you sweetie, but I ain't got the nerve
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve
Don't know if they told ya, in the year that I come from
They were talkin' 'bout a revolution, talking about Vietnam
Well, you can't quite remember, baby ain't you heard?
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve
Sooner or later, some kind of savior
Is gonna come down through the roof
Do me a favor, let me off easy when you do
I don't need no doctor, I don't need no truth
I'm goin' to California, baby I'm bulletproof
Just a strange believer, runnin' on the word
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve
Get what you deserve

| idiot_wind | Posted: Oct 12, 2012 - 13:30 YES! The savior of R n R! Someone who knows how to play guitar! Derek and his wife (Susan D) are freakin great but they don't enough. Maybe it's in the genes. |

| idiot_wind | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 12:31 Some one tell Derek to get off his ass and tour more! He is the best guitar player out there. And his wife (Susan Tedeshi) is a helluva singer and babe. This guys makes it look so easy and he's a very unassuming. Hey RP, you are on a groove....keep it up. |

Apparently, Bill does read these comments. From Jersey, you risk life and limb with that feeling. To each his own... I know I'm in the minority, so all you fans out there... enjoy. I'll be enjoying "The Derek Trucks Band" a whole lot more than this... |

Grandpa's music. Speak for yourself, buddy. I love this stuff and social security's a long way off. Good music has no age limit! Doesn't mean you have to like it, but it also doesn't mean you can't like it. |

ARKANSAS MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS BULL... hate this side of American music! Well played, certainly, but... sooooooo out-of-time! Please allow me to kick your sorry ass, Stingray. I love you, in my way - but there are times (like this one) when I seriously think you need to get back on your medication. I mean, really - if you like being considered a troll, that's your business, but I wonder if your care-giver would be equally understanding. And by the way - chewing through those leather restraints will damage your teeth, and you'll need them for gritting next time you hear a Derek Trucks song. Just sayin'...  |
| ziakut (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Sep 29, 2010 - 14:22 I've liked almost everything I've heard on this album...maybe it's time to pick it up. |
