John Hiatt - Down Around My Place Lyrics






The radio is busted, down around my place
Every tool is rusted, down around my place
Creeks and rivers dried up, down around my place
My woman's tears are cried up, down around my place

And before there came a flood
Some lost all, even blood
Now the sun and wind have come and left no trace
Down around my place
Down around my place

These hunting grounds were hallowed, down around my place
Exhausted fields lay fallow, down around my place
Kingdoms come and crumble, down around my place
My prayers are merely mumbles, down around my place

And I put my faith in you
Did you make that error too?
Bound to fail that he might show his grace
Down around my place

Down around my place
Down around my place

They said you wouldn't believe
What a paradise this was
'Til every Adam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry
Started fighting for what he loved

So, we fortified the ramparts
And we built the mighty towers
But it was plain to see, we never were free
From the tyranny of the hour

The family graves keep winkin', down around my place
At every thought I'm thinkin', down around my place
While the young ones crowd the table, down around my place
Bitchin' about no cable, down around my place

And my grandpa says, “Don't worry
It's always the last one in who's in a hurry
To try and slam the door in the next one's face”
Down around my place
Down around my place
Down around my place
Down around my place
Down around my place

    Thunderous beat of drums and guitar build and climax into Joe’s haunting guitar solo.
    Absolutely chilling!!!

  10. L.... T....

    That moment after the Guitar solo....these vocals dude!!! Orgasm . . . 3:33

  11. G.... L....

    I like this song down around my place. I love the way Joe Bonamassa plays the guitar.

  12. R.... I....

    Joe is a great guy. He helps others to reach their dream. He even helps us rocking chair rock stars to impress our wives and children and friends with as many fresh licks and melodies as we can do.

  13. o.... ....

    A recent find and wow what a find. Johns great gravelly voice and Mr Bonamassa waiting like a praying mantis to strike. Chills up my spine - fabulous ❤️

  14. D.... W....

    MY MY, THIS SONG, JOHN HIATT AND JOE JUST BLOW THIS TO HEAVEN AND MAYBE HELL!

  15. M.... L....

    Haunting..........
    Powerful guitar solo and vocals, John's poetry especially. Very Cohen-esque…poignant, somewhat obscure meanings,
    And a prayer..…to whom, we cannot be sure, as God does not make errors…or does He???
    Bereft, alone...but not defeated.
    Outstanding performance!!! Thank you, Joe and John!

  16. S.... H....

    That was fucken epic!

  17. W.... P....

    Muth•F•kka Jim Brown! The bridge alone......wow!

  18. B.... N....

    Tak tuhle bombu nám v Českých rádiích nepustěj.

  19. R.... L....

    I just heard this for the first time. I'm in shock and awe. Badass song.

    R.... L....

    Keep thinking it can’t get any better - but oh it does, and more! Am working my way through Black Country Communion - voyage of discovery 😍

  20. A.... M....

    Class is earned and Joe has alot.

  21. 1.... 9....

    God, can it be even more brilliant?

  22. E.... G....

    Bitching about no cable ......ahahaha fantastic!

  31. M.... D....

    John never disappoints!☺️

  32. j.... p....

    Joe, you are a joke! Pathetic!

  33. j.... p....

    You are a loser Joe. Anyone who reads this should agree that Joe is making money from Mr.Leonard Cohen.

    j.... p....

    justin point
    Get a life

  34. j.... p....

    He is not cool. He simply, and merely, attempted to "ride the coat tails" of the amazing Mr.leonard Cohen. "Joe the joke!" Show Leonard some respect you "chump!"

  35. M.... S....

    goddamn, that's a great song....... great version too.... Joe's solo and the harmony bridge, perfect. All you idiots that criticize JB's playing as too showy or lacking emotion can kiss his ass.

  36. J.... L....

    1080p my ass!!

  37. A.... S....

    Bare en fantastisk, flott,

  38. M.... W....

    60 people thumbs down? Go listening to Justin Bieber. Its clear you have no idea about good music.

  39. M.... H....

    Coolest solo I've ever heard.makes my hair stand up

  40. J.... M....

    John. Freaking. Hiatt. 'Nuff said.

  41. M.... H....

    Just awesome 👏 👌

  42. #.... t....

    Solo was great but for me the best part was the part right after the solo when they both sang.

  43. g.... ....

    The Joe Bonamassa Blues Corporation & Co. - the Rythm´n Blues Money Machine...thanx for licking my ass n° 47 in the liner notes of the album... - but the music is good ;-)

  44. L.... S....

    He is SO FREAKING SEXY!!!!

  45. M.... A....

    Dio c'è!

  54. C.... N....

    a unique voice like the immortals.

  55. T.... A....

    No taking anything away from Joe Bonamossa, but John Hiatt is a songwriting treasure.

  56. j.... P....

    at the end of the magical solo when they sing together it’s so powerfull. amazing

  57. D.... O....

    The extraordinary performance of 'Down Around My Place' at Beacon Theater by these great musicians staggers me every time I listen to it. I'm convinced this is one of the greatest songs ever written, and performed live in my lifetime. Period. Thank you, gentlemen.

  58. N.... R....

    Epic as hell..

  59. M.... S....

    Grandiose ! Oh My God ! Quel duo magique ! ❤

  60. E.... P....

    Superb ...

  61. E.... P....

    Bona ,Thanks !!!!

  62. S.... K....

    The performers who could get me out of my cave and to their concerts are just a handful ... Leo Kottke, John Fogerty, Judy Collins, Paul Simon, Mark Knopfler, Tommy Emmanuel, George Winston come to mind ... and here are two of them together.

  63. j.... b....

    Love it

  64. x.... ....

    I can feel my bones shaking everytime I watch this performance

  65. J.... C....

    Awesome!!!

  66. C.... E....

    Does it get any better than Hiatt, Bonamassa and this great song!

  67. J.... T....

    Brilliantly performed!!

  68. J.... P....

    Possibly the most underrated American singer/songwriter. If you've never seen him perform, you are missing out. He's nothing short of brilliant. True Grit.

  69. 0.... ....

    W tym duecie utwór zyskał siłę i moc. Joe i John rewelacyjni. Całość brzmi i ma znaczenie!

  70. C.... ....

    This is such a nice song. It just makes you feel something inside. Thanks for the great video.

  71. P.... A....

    oh my god!!! great great music!! great joe!!!!!

  72. 2.... ....

    Brilliant !!!

  73. L.... T....

    Bonamassa & Hiatt should do an album together! This was amazing

  74. G.... S....

    Óriási!!!.Király..

  75. a.... l....

    such an amazing song...such an amazing guitar solo...

  76. M.... D....

    As much a fan as I am of John Hiatt, that smile n wink at the end is because he well knows Joe took his tune to the next level. He often surrounds himself with great talent (Sonny Landreth?)

  77. c.... f....

    what a freaking solo.

  78. T.... L....

    John Hiatt wrote Are you ready for a thing called love.. Feels like Rain ....Angel eyes and so many more been listening for 30 years

  79. h.... ....

    Wonderful stuff... loved every second of that

  80. E.... ....

    I like Joe on his own but I think he's always 10x better when he performs with another really good performer/singer like Jimmy Barnes, Glenn Hughes or John Hiatt.

  81. Y.... r....

    Здорово!!!!!! Это Вам не Кобзон.....
    Уважаемый

  82. b.... v....

    Beautifully executed solo. Great tone too.

  83. R.... L....

    takes me in and burns right through me...so good!

  84. s.... ....

    shivers.

  85. R.... R....

    Baby When you hold me Tight live 18! J.h. is superbe

  86. D.... R....

    WoW real musicians in these days

  87. K.... G....

    I recognize the immense talent that is Joe Bonamassa. That said, he lacks the soul that John Hiatt is consumed with. May this be part of the growth of Joe to become an icon of mine... like John is. There's something about the silence between notes that John lives and Joe doesn't know that "could" come from this collaboration. I suppose what I'm trying to say is... John does so much more with so much less... an economy of sound and an excess of emotion.

    K.... G....

    Agreed. Joe is quite good but when you stand him next to a master like Hiatt or Clapton he pales.....but who wouldn't? They are once in a lifetime types.

  88. D.... P....

    Long live Joe Bonamassa.

  89. T.... D....

    What kind of person gives this great song and artists a thumbs down?

  90. a.... s....

    !!!GENIAL!!!

  91. E.... K....

    Masterpiece

  92. �.... �....

    QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

  93. m.... c....

    Most of the music I listen to isn't played on main stream radio

  94. J.... F....

    Just amazing. Thanks to Mr. Bonamassa for helping further expose the world to the amazing songwriting of John Hiatt. Too freakin' cool.

  95. R.... K....

    Wow! Still a great thrill as the years go by,

  96. C.... T....

    This is a great collaboration, always enjoy it

  97. d.... ....

    Why don't they form a band together...:-)

  98. J.... H....

    Godlike! The sum of this piece of Art is pure magic! Every single musician, every note...

  99. J.... J....

    Just too cool. I love this!!!AWESOME WITH MR. HYATT
