about

This is the second take of a Carlsbad, California home studio live session recorded in early 2022. We played the song two times, kept the drums and bass, then sparingly overdubbed the rest to achieve a sound true to our live performances.

After the first take, the band was firing on all cylinders. I chose this as the single release because it moves and grooves so well from start to finish.

lyrics

Ummm, that's what I'm talking about

Get after the sun, get after the sun
Get after the sun, get after the sun
Get after it, get, get after it
Get after it, get, get after it
Get after it, get, get after it

No sight of the man on the interstate
Spent a mess of time truckin' on the road today
I got a one-way ticket babe, the diesel down
And I'm blowing off some doors as I pass each town
As I pass each town, as I pass each town
As I pass each town, laying that diesel down
Going down, down, going down

Let me tell you
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Grab your little woman, baby treat her right
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Grab your little woman, treat her right
Shore as you're born

Let me tell you
Get after it, get, get after it
Get after it, get, get after it
Get after it, get, get after it

Like a shotgun kick, I move as fast as I can
Yes that's the signature style of a do right man
I know every action means the word to you
That's why I'm trucking this load to bring the goods to you
Bring the goods to you, bring the goods to you
Bring the goods to you, baby bring the good to you

If you're gonna do it, do it right
Grab your little woman, baby treat her right
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Grab your sweetheart, treat her right

Bring it down, baby
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Bring it down

Well, it's late at night, but I need to know
Just what kind of love you've got in store
I know outside is just a drizzling rain
So won't you start a fire in that hearth again
In your hearth again, in your hearth again
In your hearth again, light a fire in your hearth again

I say yeah, I say yeah
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Grab your little woman, baby treat her right
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Grab your little woman, treat her right

Get down, do it right

The Ram Carlsbad, California

The Ram is a traveling singer-songwriter based out of North County San Diego, CA. Part of traveling means we play with musicians from all walks of life and exposure to all sorts of different genres, styles, and instrumentation. It's the pure freedom a songwriter needs to pivot, working with a collective of musical talent as opposed to managing a working band in a specific genre or class of music. ... more
