about

Wrote this bluegrass type tune to have for a campground jam and sing a long song when I was getting ready to go to the Live Oak Music Festival that year. This version was recorded live at Castoro Cellars Winery in 1998.

lyrics

Like You Do
by John Beccia

Why do you treat me bad, and how can we get so sad?
Where did it go so wrong and when will we say so long?

CHORUS - So tell me, why do you treat me like you do, sweet darlin’?
Why do you treat me like you do ?
Why do you treat me like you do, sweet darlin’?
Why do you treat me like you do ?

What do we do from here, while fighting back all the tears
Fearing the reasons why, while staring out at the sky
REPEAT CHORUS

Dry as the desert sky, no tears are left to cry
There's mystery in every stone, the hugeness of being alone
REPEAT CHORUS twice

REPEAT CHORUS twice
