Tedeschi Trucks Band - Anyhow and Statesboro Blues

Tedeschi Trucks Band – Anyhow and Statesboro Blues – Live at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Wednesday, August 16th, 2023.

Hey kids, pay attention here. This is what real music and musicianship is all about. No fireworks, or smoke-bombs, or prancing around the stage. This band is probably the best live band touring right now, and it’s no coincidence that they’re carrying on the Allman Brothers tradition of playing extremely tight, but musical songs.

Lyrics:
“Anyhow”
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, anyhow
Running from a bitter taste
Took a rest from all the chase
Feeling something anchored in my soul
Played the game by all the rules
Learning lessons no one gets to choose

Everywhere I turn, here I am
I, so walk away with me (walk away)
I’ll show you that

I would go anywhere, anytime (anywhere, anytime)
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow

Woke up feeling all adrift
Pieced together what I missed
Realized that you pushed me out to see
Followed from a lost place
Dealing with the wreckage in my soul

Everywhere I turn, there you are
You are
So walk away with me (walk away)
I’ll show you that

I would go anywhere, anytime (anywhere, anytime)
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow

Ey, he-yeah
No one cares to loan a dime
Sorry if it cost you time
What’d you expect a desperate man to do?
Cain and Abel lit the flame
We can never go that way again

Everywhere I turn, here we are
We are
So walk away with me (walk away)
I’ll show you that

I would go anywhere, anytime (anywhere, anytime)
I would do anything, anyway
I would go anywhere, anytime (anywhere, anytime)
I would do anything, anyway
Anyhow

Ey, yeah

Anywhere, I would do
Almost anything, anyway, I would do almost anything
Anyway, anyhow
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime
Anytime

“Statesboro Blues”
Yes now, wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve drive Papa Taj from your door?

Woke up in the morning, baby, I had them Statesboro Blues
Statesboro, Georgia that is
Woke up this morning had them Statesboro Blues
I looked over in the corner, grandma baby had ’em too

Mama died and left me reckless, papa died and left me wild
I ain’t good lookin’ baby but I’m someone’s sweet angel-child
Goin’ to the country, baby do you want to go
I know if you can’t make it, your sister Lucille said she want to go

You know I love that woman better than any woman I’ve ever seen
Yes, I love that woman better than any woman I’ve ever seen
She treat me like a king
I treat her like she, she was a dog gone queen

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve drive Papa Taj from your door?
