From the recording Thanks for Nothing
A sharp-tongued, swing-infused track that blends classic Delta grit with West Coast energy.
Built on driving rhythms boogie piano of guest artist Carl Sonny Leyland, the track explores themes of disappointment and resilience with a dose of biting humor. “Thanks for Nothing” captures the band’s signature sound— blues storytelling delivered with groove, attitude, and a modern edge.
The song is the newest preview of their upcoming album Cold Night Rainy Day.
Lyrics
Driving out one day
I had a break down
Rolling to a stop got an empty tank
I asked for gasoline but you gave me water
Thanks for nothing you can take that to the bank
Thanks for nothing
You could have picked me up
But you pushed me down
Thanks for nothing
Tell you something
When your payback comes
I want to be around
Going up the river and
I got no paddle
Truth is I ain't even got a boat
Can you lift me up upon your shoulders?
Said 'Sorry son gonna have to learn to float'
Thanks for nothing
You could have wrote me up
But you wrote me off
Thanks for nothing
Tell you something
Fell into a hole
I'm sinking in quick sand
Only gonna last just moment more
Should have saved my breath instead I called you
Not today cause it's too late for you now
Thanks for nothing
You could have let me in
But you shut me out
Thanks for nothing
Tell you something
