Drive-By Truckers

Drive-By Truckers are an alternative country/Southern rock band based in Athens, Georgia, though two out of five current members (Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley) are originally from The Shoals region of Northern Alabama, and the band strongly identifies with Alabama. Their music uses three guitars as well as bass, drums, and now keyboards. Like many alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch, 16-track open reel tape recorders). However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries, the Drive-By Truckers have consistently pushed their labels to also release the band's records in a vinyl format. more »

Losing your joy
Playing with dangerous toys
Isolate yourself from life
And all of its big noise
Insinuate a fever dream
Instigate a requiem
A deafening explosion of shame
An orgasm inside your brain

Silly young men
Why you using heroin
Thought you knew better than that
Thought you knew better than that

Beautiful lost girl
You turned your back on this mean street world
Taste of heaven
Some part of you dies
'Til you're something you can't recognize
Raised to know better than
Dying using heroin
A judgement discrepancy
Cutting life expectancy
I thought you knew better than that
Thought you knew better than that
I thought you knew better than that

Didn't '71 teach us anything
Didn't '94 teach us anything
Discovered me and tempted me
Never quite captured me
Always just turned away
I've lost so many friends that way

Missing my friends
Who died using heroin
I thought they knew better than that
I thought they knew better than that

Thought you knew better than that
Thought you knew better than that
Thought you knew better than that
Thought you knew better than that
