On this track, Dan Auerbach sings from the point of view of a man whose life is falling apart, a standard blues subject. Through a motif of infidelity, excess, and rain/sea imagery, Auerbach impresses upon the listener a portrait of desperation.
While this song is from a first-person point of view,...
[Chorus 1]
The go-getter
I'll be the go-getter
Yes I am, I'll be the go-getter
That's my plan, the go-getter
[Verse 1]
Hi-fi boom box
Pretty girl in bobby socks
After party in a hotel room
Pretty soon there will be no moon
Stumble home in the pourin' rain
Let the water ease my worried brain
Some days I just can't get along
I need a head to lean my shoulders on
[Pre-Chorus]
Palm trees, the flat broke disease
And LA has got me on my knees
I am the bluest of blues
Every day, a different, different way to lose
[Chorus]
The go-getter
The go-getter, the go-getter
[Verse 2]
I got a table at the Rainbow Room
I told my wife I'd be home soon
Big ships are approaching the docks
I got my hi-fi boom box
Mashed potatoes in cellophane
I see my life goin' down the drain
Hold me baby and don't let go
Pretty girls help to soften the blow, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Palm trees, the flat broke disease
And LA has got me on my knees
I am the bluest of blues
Every day, a different way to lose
[Chorus]
The go-getter, the go-getter
The go-getter, I'll be the, the go-getter
That's my plan, that's who I am
The go-getter, yeah, the go-getter
