What Did I Do? / God as My Witness Lyrics

"What Did I Do?"

[Intro]
There you go again, puttin' words into my mouth
This one's for you to know and for me to find out
And all that troublin' you're on about
How you gonna know 'til you hear it out loud?

[Chorus 1]
Stop, ask myself, "What did I do?
What did I do to deserve you?"
Go on, tell me now, what did I do?
What did I do to deserve you?

[Verse 1]
I heard every word comin' from the thirteenth floor
Your song came along, heard the voices tell me

[Pre-Chorus]
"To save yourself
Oh, behave yourself"

[Chorus 2]
I stop, ask myself, "What can I do?
What can I do to preserve you?"
Go on, tell me now, what can I do?
What can I do to conserve you?

See Foo Fighters Live

Get tickets as low as $30

[Verse 2]
Your name, urethane, I can see the writing on the wall
Come on, flip a coin, bet it's gonna tell you

[Pre-Chorus]
To save yourself
Oh, behave yourself

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Young man channelin', know him by the "X" on his hand
You raised runaways, singin' at the gate

[Pre-Chorus]
To "Save yourself
Oh, behave yourself"

[Outro]
So here I go again, puttin' words into your mouth
This one's for me to know and for you to find out
All that troublin' I'm on about
How you gonna know 'til you hear it out loud?
And all your heroes, where are they now?

"God as My Witness"

[Verse]
I'm lost, deliver me
I crossed the river finally

[Chorus]
With God as my witness
Yeah, it's gonna heal my soul tonight
God as my witness
Yeah, it's gonna heal my soul tonight
God as my witness
Yeah, it's gonna heal my soul tonight

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
God as my witness
Yeah, you're gonna heal my soul tonight
God as my witness
Yeah, you're gonna heal my soul tonight

About

The fourth stop on the Sonic Highways journey takes us to the very weird and wonderful Austin, Texas, a cultural hub of music genres alike and a modern-day battleground between music fans and irritable tenants.

Recorded at the one and only Studio 6A, famous for being the home of PBS' legendary Austin City Limits, “What Did I Do?” and “God as My Witness” both celebrate and channel the diversity and uniqueness of Austin’s music scene, one created externally and contributed to by various artists across the nation. One of them, famed guitarist Gary Clark Jr., is a guest on the track.
