Without you I'm just screwed. ("Everything that ever was.", 15th Anniversary Edition, 2005/2020)

"Long-running Indianapolis musician Tim Brickley worked on 'Everything' until he got it right. Opening track 'Reckless With Love' explodes as a modern descendant of Bruce Springsteen's 'Rosalita' and Tom Petty's 'American Girl', so that track can keep a listener occupied a long time before he or she moves on to the rest of the album. What follows is both cosmic and grounded, alternately poignant ('We Were High') and quite funny ('Without You I'm Just Screwed'). In terms of "heartland" rock, no Hoosier made it better than this in 2005." DAVID LINDQUIST, INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 2.2.2006.

 

WITHOUT YOU I’M JUST SCREWED

(Timothy Brickley & David Rheins)

 

I'm wonderin' who the hell I am,

I'm wonderin' what the hell a man

like me's supposed to do.

Without you I'm just screwed.

I'm wonderin' where the hell you are,

out drinking in your brand new bar

with your new friends from uptown,

or that asshole who's been around a block or two.

 

    Without you I'm just screwed.

    Without you I’m just screwed.

 

When I made you go away,

I felt so rotten the whole day.

I drank a pint or two,

got real pissed thinking about you.

I didn't know what to do.

 

    Without you I'm just screwed.

    Without you I’m just screwed.

    Without you I'm just screwed.

    Without you I’m just screwed.

 

Without you I'm just screwed.

My heart is heavy and my balls are blue.

I'm so screwed without you.

 

I'm wonderin' who the hell I am,

I'm wonderin' what the hell a man

like me's supposed to do.

Without you I'm just screwed.

I'm wonderin' where the hell you are,

out drinking in your brand new bar

with your new friends from uptown,

or that asshole who's been around a block or two.

 

    Without you I'm just screwed.

    Without you I’m just screwed.

    Without you I’m just screwed.

    Without you I’m just screwed.
