My Morning Jacket - Lay Low Lyrics






Lay low, why don't you now?
Lay back awhile and I'll show you
I got the good that you want, no
Need to go and hunt something else
It's right here with me when you stay

It's always good when I get to see
That there's never more than what
You're telling me when you stay home

Lay low if the feel is right
(Let the fetus rock)
I got all that I want here in you
Tonight and we'll pass out on the bedroom floor
After going like this so long
(Full tilt)
Hold up, you showed me
Oh, what you told me

It's not what you want
But what you need, it's not
A head full of booze
(Pills)
Or amphetamines when you stay

It's always good when I get to see
That there's never more than what
You're telling me when you stay home

    when you stay home.

    Lay low if the feel is right, I got all that I want in you tonite and we'll
    pass out on the bedroom floor after goin like this so long.

    Lay low, let the fetus rock, I got all that I want in you tonite and we'll
    pass out on the bedroom floor after goin full tilt so long.

  25. S.... ....

    This is one of the most incredibly beautiful and intense songs in rock history!

  26. M.... T....

    I think this is the best thing that ever happened to me

  27. M.... N....

    Far out, man.

  28. C.... H....

    good work American dad highlighting a quality band. the radio stations let us down in the UK. this album should be recognised by everyone. quality 5*****

    C.... H....

    The radio stations are shit in the states, too, unless you happen to live in a big city. I don't. It's all country music, or old gospel (the crappy, churchy kind, not old blue-grass gospel), and the new 'hits' all the teenyboppers are listening to. Nothing even close to MMJ.

    C.... H....

    cruddddddddddddddd the only way to find good new music is through public radio in big cities.

  29. J.... G....

    That's the most beautiful voice I ever heard good lord

  30. C.... M....

    This is the pation and feeling of the music

  31. S.... H....

    Who Here Cuz Of Abra ❤️❤️❤️💯 Love Tha Gurl

  32. A.... l....

    i see them with neil young in melbourne i was amazed by their awesome songs and playing i want to desperatly see them again in london from a 66 yr old bastad ....effing awesome....nuff said

  33. D.... M....

    wow had no clue mmj was so good

    D.... M....

    lots more where that came from.

    D.... M....

    radiohead91 I will check it out my bro

  34. J.... K....

    3:44 is the moment in this song that makes you realize just how great they are

  35. A.... L....

    Regardless of what has happened or what kind of day I've had, I can put on MMJ and it all falls away. There is something so beautiful and pure about their music. I'm Stanning out and would listen to Jim gargle.

    A.... L....

    damn straight

  36. M.... ....

    When the mix down of a track makes it unearthly but still brilliant.

  37. C.... A....

    May this band last forever and into eternity, they are godlier than gods.

  38. J.... V....

    The only thing Seth could have given us better than American Dad.

  39. N.... ....

    Oh my goodness gracious I just pissed out my ass it was so good! Haha jk I lied. It was different I like... I think

  42. S.... A....

    The most beautiful song i've ever heard.

  43. E.... W....

    I can't believe it took American Dad to bring this band and I together.

    E.... W....

    Guitar Hero 5 too

    E.... W....

  50. W.... A....

    This song is awesome

  51. T.... M....

    This is amazing. I wish I could say something else, but...
    It's just amazing.
    The guitars.
    Holy shit.

    T.... M....

    Theus Morais 👍💕

  52. M.... Z....

    I've been listening to music for over 15 years. I've gone through most of the Metal, Rock, most off-shoots of alternative and experimental Rock, Hip Hop and RnB music out there (British and American). I've also been familiar with My Morning Jacket for years...
    And yet this song, when I came across it 3 months ago, captivated the fuck out of me, and I can't let it go. The last 2 minutes are a euphoric paradise for the ears. So so moving, my God.

    M.... Z....

    +Melan Zligga I'm with you!  I can sure groove to this!

    M.... Z....

    Guitars climaxing everywhere

    M.... Z....

    +Melan Zligga Haha, just wait till you hear this one live!

    M.... Z....

    Man you've just exhausted all the music out there haven't you?

    M.... Z....

    +Justin Brown yeah man I consume music so quickly and I get used to the riffs and the techniques and need to find the next sound, always looking for the next musical buzz. I had such a long phase with long hair headbanging to metal music and now I'm a hip hop head rapping along with great MCs, but when I'm high I'm all about that chill ambien music, and in the morning I like classic 70's Arabic ballads and operas, etc....

  53. d.... e....

    How can this song be so underrated ? it's awesome !

  54. M.... C....

    This is the first I have heard this song. its amazing. 

  55. B.... C....

    Many Thanks.....

  56. Y.... C....

    I was goin thru some old Jimi Hendrix songs I use to like then I came across this and it's fukin amazing never heard music like this before

  57. T.... M....

    Guys I'm using internet explorer tell me if its good

    T.... M....

    hahahahahaha

    T.... M....

    S'good brudduh

  58. T.... R....

    Such a beautiful song.

  59. B.... ....

    Oh wow.. This is awesome. I discovered this band back in like eighth grade with "One Big Holiday" and I freaking loved it. That was five years ago. I was really hesitant to look up anything else by these guys until now. Reminds me a lot of that feeling listening to "These Days" by The Black Keys..

  60. S.... B....

    its not what you want but what you need its not a head full of pills or amphetamines when you stay........beautiful

  61. L.... ....

    They need to really come to New York and perform,mmj is the one and only I want to see in concert the most.

  62. M.... L....

    Hello, somebody can tell me the name of the first song that Stan hear of MMJ in that episode of American Dad

    M.... L....

    WORDLESS CHORUS

  63. T.... H....

    I love morning jacket!!!

    T.... H....

    you know it kid

    T.... H....

    way to go kid!

  64. S.... T....

    My friend and I always bought CDs with amazing album art that we never heard of is how I discovered their awesome music.

  65. S.... T....

    I have loved MMJ since before American Dad, so when that episode aired my mind was blown considering not many people know this band. My fav A.D. episode.

  66. S.... T....

    I had an eargasm listening to that beautiful guitar solo/instrumental around 3:05 into the song.

  67. c.... ....

    Theres a video were they perform this live on youtube too and they kill it. As good as the studio version if not better. Them last 3 minutes>>>

  68. S.... D....

    Just Relax And Listen To The Music From God.

  69. A.... B....

    Z is a really, really, REALLY good album.

  70. M.... ....

    I agree; holy mother of ballsacks worldwide this song is frickin' awesome.

  71. M.... ....

    I LOVE this song and the album artwork is probably my favorite ever.

  72. J.... ....

    best live performance ive ever seen was by this band

  73. S.... P....

    Music is awesome

  74. R.... L....

    jim James went to the same school as me! but like 10 years before

  75. E.... ....

    I'm 17 years old, and I discovered this band thanks to American Dad 1/2 years ago.. (unfortunately not by an other way... In France, its hard to discover new bands excpet by going to concerts, or listening to the ONLY rock radio.. Yeah only 1 radio plays rock in this country, what a shame..)
    I'm happy I discovered this GREAT band, their music is full of emotions and sincerity.. It's impossible to describe the feeling their songs give us.. Just have to close your eyes, focus on the music and go

    E.... ....

    Elbarenev this is music to my ears that such a young person is loving this band...✨

  76. R.... ....

    True... it's not like they're Moby with all their tracks being whored out to wick TV adverts.... I guess with increasing popularity certain fans are no longer able to define who is cool for listening to them any more. Those poor poor twats may have to brave the sunshine like the rest of us and actually talk to a person.. Kids eh, it's nothing a good slap 'round the face with a spanner wouldn't fix.. :-)

  77. t.... ....

    Not at all my friend I just appreciate good music.

  78. W.... M....

    You were stoned when you read it, that's why.

  79. t.... ....

    One of the greatest comments I have ver read. Thank you. I love this band because you can actual feel the emotion that they put into their work. its crazy how my mood changes with the songs i play.

  80. s.... ....

    this album is one of the few i will play for my children and say, "ya, this from my generation". not that this album was very groundbreaking for music or rock, but it ranges greatly in its content and is simply awesome fucking music played with actual instruments which is something that i feel much of the radio and artists today lack an appreciation of

  81. n.... ....

    nothing incredible

  82. A.... A....

    dont bring it to the world, just let it grow naturally besides were better off with a lower population knowing of MMJ, cuz then people will over ride the awesomeness of this song! By to many repetitive plays over and over again. lol but then again i can't stop listening to the song so w..e lol do w.e the fuck u want sorry for wasting mins of ur time, and I'm sorry for wasting my time typing this too! lol haha have a good one bro live free or change!

  83. J.... S....

    fuckin love this song god DAMN

  84. I.... R....

    if i ever get radio station i will play all underground music including mmj and make them popular...the world has no idea what theyre missing out on..

  85. B.... ....

    the problem isn't that you found them by watching american dad, the problem is that you are admitting to watching american dad.

  86. c.... ....

    Found my new favorite band

  87. A.... L....

    such a unique song, reminds me of Billy Joel, but rockier

  88. m.... ....

    Fuck, this band is good.

  89. t.... ....

    Strangely I picked up a DVD of American Dad at my local library and the episode with My Morning Jacket was on it. I fell in love right off the bat. Jim James in my opinion should get a lot more credit than what he has already been given. They're an underrated band also I think.

  90. p.... ....

    i think everyone must hear this

  91. T.... L....

    Why cant i find this album on itunes! :(

  92. c.... ....

    I agree!

  93. E.... ....

    they played this in stl last week.. it was everything i hoped it would be and more!

  94. d.... ....

    everythinss better with a bag o' weed!

  95. M.... ....

    The cover would be a sweet ass tattoo, man.

  96. T.... ....

    6 people didn't lay low :/

  97. s.... ....

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  98. p.... ....

    6 people had family members who died from the Euphoria!
