BlackHawk - That's Just About Right Lyrics
My old friend lives up in the mountain.
He flew up there to paint the world.
He says, "Even though interpretation's what I count on,
This little picture to me seems blurred.
Hard lines and the shadows come easy,
I just can't seem to set my easel to please me.
I paint my Heaven, but it looks like hell." Yeah
Your blue might be gray,
Your less might be more.
Your window to the world might be your own front door.
You shiniest day might come in the middle of the night.
That's just about right.
He said "I ain't comin' down till my picture is perfect,
Down through my hands, and onto to the canvas.
Still like my vision, but still a surprise.
Real life," he says, "is the hardest impression.
It's always movin' so I let it come through."
"That my friend," I say, "is the glory of true independence -
Just to do what you do, what you do, what you do." Yeah.
Your blue might be gray,
Your less might be more.
Your window to the world might be your own front door.
You shiniest day might come in the middle of the night.
That's just about right.
Well my old friend came down from the mountain.
Without even lookin', he found a little truth:
That you can go through life with the greatest intentions,
But you do what you do, what you just gotta do, yeah.
Your blue might be gray,
Your less might be more.
Your window to the world might be your own front door.
You shiniest day might come in the middle of the night.
Your blue might be gray,
Your less might be more.
Your window to the world might be your own front door.
You shiniest day might come in the middle of the night.
That's just about right.
That's just about right. Yeah.

BlackHawk That's Just About Right Comments
They are a great band but the music that any band or musician plays has got to be felt and heard by the listener
Wish i could have seen yall when you were in Lockney!!
This song puts me in the mind of my dad he tells it like he sees it everytime I hear this song I turn it up and I jam out I LOVE blackhawk
Wonder if u guys knew he sang in a band in the 70s called the Outlaws...
God Bless you Howard Finster
Life moves on
I miss the good old days listening to old country takes me back to the best times of my life I miss my mom and my uncle so much and my dad is very bad sick now it hurts so much
Still loving 90’s country in 2020!
Love Blackhawk!
Road trip music!
I love this song. The video was made in my hometown.
I Adore This Song
You do what you do what you just gotta do. Yeah
This song is a classic that song is 1 too this album might as well b PRICELESS!
THIS BAND GOES DOWN IN THE HALL OF FAME!
This country is just about right
Wow I like this song
This song reminds me of my best friend. She passed in March. In the 90s we listened to this tape all the time. Cruised around town. Miss her so much. Hearing this song makes me smile and cry.
Remember seeing them in 93-94 with Tim McGraw & Little Texas together
Henry Paul with Outlaws again. Saw them in NYC. Great! Miss Hughie Thomasson though. RIP Hughie.
H.P. back? Awesome!
I remember BlackHawk and TIm McGraw opening up for Little Texas back in 1994...great concert...
Yes it is. I think
Good vibes.
Yea... your blue might be gray your less might be more....
Extremely good song..
Who else is here because of Mrs. Rehling
"I just cant seem to set easel to please me. I paint my heaven but it looks like hell."
Best country song of all time,hands down👍 (2019)
Heard this song on radio for first time a few days ago on digital country music station in Australia.
LOVE THIS SONG - 25 years have past - and I missed it.
Remember seeing them along Tim McGraw and Little Texas at a single concert back in 1995/1996
This is what an underrated band looks and sounds like
If they got a mullet, you know it’s country gold!
No joke In
Love the harmony where can I find it? Barbershop quartets. I heard "In your eyes" accapela Peter Gabriel not him but I felt goosebumps
Haven't heard this song in so long and with how my life has been lately the lows I've been through this song has helped me get back out of it
I sure wish country was still like the 90s !
I wish I could go back to when I was a kid and loved this song and it didn't mean anything cause it means a lot a they sing it perfect
2019 and still one of the best country bands EVER
Damn straight
"Hard lines in the shadows come easy..."
The guy who wrote this song (Jeff Black) had some very nuanced lines in there that really hit hard.
Love the mandolin licks!
Love these guys. Miss them so much.
Miss VAN STEVENSON!!✌🙏🙏🎶🎵🎼🎹🎤🎻😎
He was a great singer and guitarist.
I paint so naturally I love this song.
But this band has only great songs.
"Ain't comin' down 'til my picture is perfect and all the wonder is gone from my eyes" - Still one of my favorite lines in a song.
Mullets and incredible harmonies....when country music was still awesome .
Still my favorite country song thank you guys
Which country still sounded like this got to love 90s country
2019 and to Young to even know this song, just want whoever to know how solid gold country this heart is. Know every damn word
that's 'too' young, boss.
hell ya! i just cant set my easel to please me. do what you do what you just gota do!!!!!!!!!
These guys are awesome when country was country
Beautiful music, takes me back to being a kid
I’m rite here mom lol 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽seven Lol peace
🥵🥵🥵🎚🎚🎚🎚
Christ is the answer
Old man Died
Reverend Howard Finster
Love this song 💘 one of my favorite songs 💘 👍
RIP Van Stephenson
Van stephenson
I remember this song 2. It was back in early 95. Van has been up in Heaven 4 17 years now.
Underrated.
it sure is underated
Awesome song
Just learned about this band from Dave the real music observer. He said it’s like the eagles so I know am hooked right away.
Blackhawk is probably the greatest three part harmony band of all time.
That's Just About Right. :P
Yea I love this song and video ...the old dude I knew a person like him.
My old friend,
Lives up in the mountains
He flew up there to paint the world
He says, "Even though interpretation's what I count on, this little picture to me seems blurred"
"Hard lines and the shadows come easy
I see them all just as clear as a bell
I just can't seem to set my easel to please me;
I paint my Heaven, but it looks like Hell"
Your blue might be gray, your less might be more
Your window to the world might be your own front door
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
That's just about right
He says, "Man, I ain't comin' down 'til my picture is perfect
And all the wonder has gone from my eyes"
Down through my hands and onto the canvas,
Still like my vision but still a surprise"
"Real life", he says, "is the hardest impression
It's always movin' so I let it come through"
"And that", I say, "is the glory of true independence" "Just do what you do what you just gotta do"
Your blue might be gray, your less might be more
Your window to the world might be your own front door
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
That's just about right
My friend came down from the mountain
Without even looking, he found a little truth
"You can go through life with the greatest intentions; but you do what you do what you just gotta do" (Yeah)
Your blue might be gray, your less might be more
Your window to the world might be your own front door
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
That's just about right
Love this Damn song true to the words
Ahhh this song, sure brings everything to perception!
That's just about right it sure does
@Sandy Jimenez yes it sure does really puts things in perspective
Real life he says is the hardest impression
It’s always moving so I let it come through
That my friend I say is the glory of true independence
Just to do what you do, what you do, what you do
My son loved this song when it came out , he was 10 years old and he is a very good artist these days
This song is dedicated to Howard Finster of Paradise Gardens. He was a Folk Artist among many of the wonderful talents he had. Ive lived my whole life where this song was taken place in the Great Chattooga County. When my grand father was little Howard Finster gave him a little car that he made and hand painted, and my grand mother still has it till this day. Long live Howard Finster. Rest easy Sir.
RIP Reverend Finster.
Tennie Bandy that is cool
Neil McCoy
Howard was a special creature that was gifted to this earth and left an incredible footprint in the time that he was here
Seven people have shitty taste in music..
I'd like to see you come up with any form of music. Probably crappy cat screeches :)
Every track on their albums were hits and true country songs. Not a single bad track.
Right on!
Absolutely agree
When they sang rock and roll they were awesome too. ( outlaws) green grass and high tides was an awesome song. They're great musicians
Back when country was country and not like the stuff of today which is CUNTry.
Gary Machado I agree 100 percent
Harmony!!!
