Dawes - Million Dollar Bill Lyrics

this is gold, give us more.

Great song writing is still alive.

Is there anything more painful than Losing the woman you love?

The drummer has the worst case of weed eyes I have ever seen.

I love it

Is this the original or a cover?

well its like when Dave Grohl plays some of Nirvana's stuff but i guess its still technically being covered by a new band.

@Zachary Brooks oh snap😆 I didn't realize that's the same guy. Oof

I keep coming back to this, does anyone know if it on a cd as cannot find it anywhere

It's on their album titled "Nothing Is Wrong". Although it's full band, it's a great song nonetheless. It's also on Taylor Goldsmith's side project, Middle Brother with members of Deer Tick and Delta Spirit. Their album is self titled.

I wanna find the girl who hurt him and lobotomize her

When it hits me that she's gone
I think I'll run for president
Get my face put on the million dollar bill

So when these rich men that she wants
Show her ways they can take care of her
I'll have found a way to be there with her still.

When it hits me that she's gone
I think I'll be an astronaut
Make the moon my home and leave the earth behind

So when she steps out into the night
And finds the light that makes her prettiest
She'll be facing me every time she shines.

When it hits me that she's left me alone
When I finally move on with my life
Her goodbye written into stone
And her shadow grown into a night--

When it hits me that she's gone
I think I'll be a movie star
Play the finest men the world has ever seen

So when all of these lovers that she's found
Show her ways they learned to talk to her
Behind each perfect word, there will be a little bit of me.

This might just be one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard

cuck anthem

No not really. Every guy no matter how tough has been screwed over by a girl. Except you of course, because you're a closet homo.

so fucking good

I miss that piano man

When bands these days can't think of a chorus it always turns into: ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...oooooooooooo.. Plus someone should tell Garfunkle's kid to take his goddamn hands out of his pockets during video recordings.

Go to bed Dad! You're drunk!

Nothing sounds like an old Gibson.

must be his favourite shirt it has a rip in the shoulder

Three voices and a GIBSON guitar...there we go !!!

Dawes needs to do an acoustic album.

great song!

Just wanted to let everyone know that this is a cover, the song is by middle brother

He wrote this song while in Middle Brother.

@spencer k The people you see singing _are_ Middle Brother

+Ben Whittington No, Middle Brother is comprised of the three frontmen from Dawes, Deer Tick & Delta Spirt. This is just 3/4 of Dawes. Andrew is correct though that this was written by Dawes and first used on the Middle Brother album with the other members of Middle Brother singing two of the three verse sections. Amazing song.

@ Ben Whittington: FAIL

Ben Whittington Lol no they’re not XD

I saw these guys around 2010 & told them they reminded me of Poco, a band from So Cal.  I told them I thought they would go far. Looks like I was right.   They were in Little  Rock w Chris Denny, another one worth checking out. 

anyone know what Pencil Condenser mic is/was used on his guitar? 

I'm not 100%, but looks like a Neumann KM184 - http://www.neumann.com/?lang=en&id=current_microphones&cid=km180_description

Good song. I don't know if I'm weird or something but this reminds me of yawning and now I can't stop. Good stuff though.

son muy buenos

Billy Grimes I'm a fairly intelligent person but I'm not understanding the meaning of your comment.

*You're

Your not right if it's an opinion. LOL

Very nice,that Gibson sounds gorgeous.

beautiful lyrics!

Liveandbreathing If only other people could or would see it that way. Thank you for not being a jerk.

You said yourself it's your opinion, which can be neither right or wrong.

Phillip does a cover of this song, and while Dawes sound amazing Phillip Twitchell sounds better. If anyone has heard of Phillip Twitchell then you know I'm right! So don't be haters to me for my opinion!

What sort of hat is he wearing?

amazing sound. Great lyrics. What else could you want. Great band

I just heard these guys on XM - rarely does a new band make me stop, shush the kiddos in the car and just .... listen. This did.

I think I am 100 of the 611 views.

Saw these guys support Mumford and Sons in Torquay and they were absolutely epic. A wonderful four piece. They brought a wonderful piece of LA to South Devon for one night. Thank you.
