LYRICS:

Yeah, you got what you want
Slave to that dollar bill
Had to get you some
And damn, you're hungry still

Yeah you think you a king
The whole world's yours to take
But we got something you can't buy
Love's something you make

That's how we roll, that's how we roll
Can't sell your soul, not for diamonds, diamonds & gold
The high and the low, you reap what you sow
Not for diamonds, diamonds & gold

There ain't no turning back
Turning back the hands of time
You can't change the past
But something's gonna change your mind

Yeah, there is more to this
All the light you can see
The more you get, the less you got
The truth is gonna set you free

That's how we roll, that's how we roll
Can't sell your soul, not for diamonds, diamonds & gold
The high and the low, you reap what you sow
Not for diamonds, diamonds & gold
Tell me it don't matter, tell me you don't care
Tell yourself the ends justify the means, and life ain't fair
I don't have an answer, that ain't what this is
But all I know, we're all the same, you get just what you give

That's how we roll, that's how we roll
Can't sell your soul, not for diamonds, diamonds & gold
The high and the low, you reap what you sow
Not for diamonds, diamonds & gold

That's how we roll
Can't sell your soul, not for diamonds, diamonds & gold
The high and the low, you reap what you sow
Not for diamonds, diamonds & gold

In January, when Shepherd and his band entered the Echophone Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, the mission statement was nothing if not ambitious: the greatest songs of Shepherd’s career. No more. No less. "The point of this album," he says, "was that I wanted to put a heavy emphasis on the songs themselves and the writing behind them. I wanted each song to really stand on its own with the songwriting, the music, the words."

Lay It On Down is available to order on CD, regular black vinyl and limited edition blue vinyl.
