I was just wondering if you'd come along, Hold up my head when my head won't hold on. I'll do the same if the same is what you want. But if not I'll … - Dave Matthews

That's the magic of this band: shooting from the hip. The lights have to follow our cues, because we're not going to follow their cues. We're not going to stick to a song the way it's supposed to be. Everything is up to us. That's music to me. That's American music. We're an American band.

See you and me, have a better time than most can dream.
Have it better than the best, so we can pull on through.
Whatever tears at us... whatever holds us down,
And if nothing can be done, well make the best of whats around.

Funny the way it is, if you think about it.
Somebody's going hungry, someone else is eating out.
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong.
Somebody's heart is broken, it becomes your favorite song.
