I can remember being blown away by this song when I heard it about 2 years ago.




I was studying in Monterrey, Mexico at the time and I traveled about 15 hours to get to the venue they were going to play at, which was in Bryan, Texas. I made sure th at I located the venue before I was going to grab a bite to eat and walked to the backside to see if there was any movement. Turns out they were doing their soundcheck and they played this song. It slapped me breathless - It was amazing. A funny thing is that the chorus didn't even have more lyrics than Uh-Oh at the time, so it awesome to hear how the song has developed over time. I met the guys later on and had one of the best nights of my life. 

Be sure to catch them live, it is something. While you're at it: check out their new album "Arrows & Anchors" for it has many more notable songs. You can pick up their song "Amarillo Sleeps On My Pillow" for free at their website:

Uh-Oh lyrics:

I went right back home,
You would have done the same.
Never washed your hands,
If you knew they'd dig up dirt again.
It took a drought,
To wash her out.

So I was the Sun,
That slapped the rain,
Until we all knew she'd go down the drain.

They're the Jacks of all trades!
The fruits of our labors were laid out to rot.
They danced and sang to the song of Amazing Grace!
I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!

Uh-Oh!
(We are. We are. We are.)

I got a runnin' start and,
During my second wind,
Stirred up all the dust,
With an iron fist and her hair brush.
It was the prettiest picture you ever saw,
The prettiest picture not on the wall.

I heard a voice,
Covered my eyes,
Wore a big smile when we dropped like flies.

They're the Jacks of all trades!
The fruits of our labors were laid out to rot.
They danced and sang to the song of Amazing Grace!
I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!

I went right back home,
You would've done the same.
Don't dare wash your hands,
We both know they'll dig up dirt again.
I got a runnin' start,
And during my second wind had a fit,
Like the bitter son of Abraham.

Hold your breath!
Did you see the light?
Or did your cold shoulders leave us in the ice?

They're the Jacks of all trades!
The fruits of our labors were laid out to rot.
They danced and sang to the song of Amazing Grace!
I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!
(We are. We are. We are.)
They're the Jacks of all trades!
The fruits of our labors were laid out to rot.
They danced and sang to the song of Amazing Grace!
I told you so! I told you so! I told you so-o-o-o-o-o.

Uh-Oh!
(We are. We are. We are.)
