Why She Needs Me - David Rawlings | Live from Here with Chris Thile

[@johnthompson3802]

Just love watching Gillian when she smiles. She is having a rare good time and that's a ton of talent doing this song.

[@artdonovandesign]

Darn right, John. The level of musical and artistic expertise here, and in this genre, equals that of the finest classical philharmonic musicians.

If we have the will
to love and care for others
hope must still exist

Lyrics please!

[@johnanderson1038]

They Re not available as far as I can tell. This is my own transcription so there could be some errors.
She got feet so she can go
She got a pole when the bayous low
She got the bon ton zydeco
Why she needs me I don't know
(chorus)
Well I don't know I can't say
I guess things just work that way
She don't cry when I go
But she says I come home too slow
Why she needs me I don't know
Her brother John plays guitar
All night long like a Mardi Gras
Well she and Lindsay can do si do
Why she needs me I don't know
(chorus)
I don't work and I can't dance
I'll get drunk given half a chance
She's got a mind like a bramble rose
Why she needs me I don't know
(chorus)

[@jjj1951]

When did David get top billing over Gillian?

[@mbsnyderc]

When they do a David Rawlings album,Actually the band goes by David Rawlings Machine,but his last Album is called Poor Davids Almanac.

[@MountainMikeT]

They trade back and forth from tour to tour and have been doing that for the last 5-6 years. Nothing new.

[@kevinmoynihan2298]

Willie Watson should demand top billing...

[@dougaigner3258]

When he sings lead and she's singing backup ;)
