[Verse 1]
Jerry Garcia on the radio
Joshua Tree out the rear window
American boys, moonbeams, and the row
Searching for meaning in the stars
Me and Davey ain't drank whiskey in a while
Never took much to make him smile
'Cept that time he was suicidal
We don't bring it up too much
[Chorus]
Why do we always need
Something to believe?
Why do we insist on finding answers
Up our sleeves?
In the lowlands
I lost my sense of self
In the highlands
I lost my sense of self
[Verse 2]
Davey's got scars
Right on his heart
Some battles are won
And others just fought
We can laugh about it
Over O'Doul's and pot
Only have one life to live
[Chorus]
Why do we always need
Something to believe?
Why do we insist on finding answers
Up our sleeves?
In the lowlands
I lost my sense of self
In the highlands
I lost my sense of self
[Verse 3]
Memory of whiskey
And the desert night heat
We keep rolling and singing
A song so sweet
Sometimes sadness
Keeps us on beat
And there ain't nothing like friends
In a time of need
[Chorus]
Why do we always need
Something to believe?
Why do we insist on finding answers
Up our sleeves?
In the lowlands
I lost my sense of self
In the highlands
I lost my sense of self
[Chorus]
Why do we always need
Something to believe?
Sometimes the answer's right
Up our sleeves?
In the lowlands
I lost my sense of self
In the highlands
I found something else
