Blackberry Smoke
Too High
Every day ain’t my day
Easy street don’t run my way
Cross my heart and hope to spit
The gettin’s good, tell me what do I get
Fool me once, fooled you twice
Buy myself a paradise
Ring my bell, time will tell
Someday soon I’m gonna give em hell, yeah
But that mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it’s too wide, wide
Out of sight, out of mind, I get this way from time to time
But right now it’s too high for me to climb,
Oh it’s a little too high
Fill my cup, wish me luck
Turn my frown right side up
Pills and bills, kiss of death
Pawn shop slip is all I’ve got left, yeah
But that mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it’s too wide, wide
You get yours, I’ll get mine
I ain’t in no hurry, got plenty of time
Right now it’s too high for me to climb, oh it’s a little too high
That mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it’s too wide, wide
Out of sight, out of mind, I get this way from time to time
But right now it’s too high for me to climb
Looks like it’s too high for me to climb
Right now it’s too high for me to climb
Oh it’s a little too high
Sydstatsrock!
Torsdag oplevede jeg Blackberry Smoke i Amager Bio. Kendetegnende for sydstatsrock er bl.a. at det ikke er kendt i DK. Det er grundliggende en blanding af blues, country og rock. Og teksterne er som regel om everyday life, blue colour man – workin’ – family and friends. Jeg har oplevet de 2 store Allman Brothers og Lynyrd Skynyrd. Men der har manglet fornyelse. Den er kommet med Blackberry Smoke, der gennem de sidste 10 år har arbejdet sig op på lige for med de store. Og hvor de gamle efterhånden fremstår som kopier af sig selv, fremstår Blackberry Smoke som nye friske og originale – med rødderne i countrymusikken og fede noter af Marshall Tucker Band. ****** 6 stjerner. “You hav heard it before, but never so well played”
