Little Feat - Skin It Back Lyrics

This song sounds like if Greg Allman fronted Steely Dan. Groovy shit!

RIP Paul Something real something to feel................

RIP Paul Barrere.....Love this song

Rest in Peace, Paul. Lowell George was the chief songwriter, but this song stands up with the very best of classic Little Feat.

RIP Paul

skin it back and cut it loose once you let the world turn how it will it starts to feel so good and definately funky fine

One of the original funcky white guys,give me some skin brother

Deep down in the groove, just superb!

Texas seemed nice, but Georgia's oh so sweet. Definitive funk with a southern twist. Been listening and grooving to this for years.

rip brotha. the greatest southern rock grooves ever lg was a genius. dont ever get enuf

One-a my favorite albums from back in my crucial development years. Hoy hoy!

"running around in the shoes of a clown"

I'm just so obsessed

you like da feat eh ? welcome

The first song I ever heard by them was "Fat Man in a Bathtub" on a low-power FM station. Toes gotta tap!

Well I'm waitin' for something to take place
Something to take me away from this race
'Round city to city, town to town
Runnin' around in the shoes of a clown
And that desperate, no count, desperado
A depot of love, my business is the street
I be shakin' 'em down, oh Colorado
Texas she's nice but Georgia's oh so sweet
Steal away with me darlin', your lovin' just can't be beat
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream and that's all that I ask for
So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you
Skin it back (skin it back).

Somethin' real, somethin' to feel
I can't find a soul who'll take on this mess
It's those rock and roll hours
Early graves without flowers
Please, please darlin' put my mind at rest
I'm beggin', please darlin' put my mind at rest
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream and that's all that I ask for
So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you.

The theme song for the uncircumsized.

Funky baby

Paul Barrere on lead vocals.👍🏿

Lowell George 😎 was so cooooool

one of the funkiest grooves of all time!

One of the most underappreciated bands ever.

Ken Gradney funks out on the bass, oh hell, they all do! Shine on Little Feat

Runnin round n ta shoes of a clown well so what? It just keeps om the move. Nobody like dem feats with Lowell.

"Skin it back” is an age old expression used by people living in the Delta and it's musicians. It means "to roll up your sleeves and go harder". This is used with musicians meaning “Go for it”.

Mule Skynr also a delta expression skin it back to u get to the truth..

1952FMS .. Yes absolutely, as in cutting through all the bullshit

I always thought it was about a dude who was not circumcised and how he was gonna let his girl know how to skin it back.

That’s not what Paul was referring to when he wrote the song.

12 people with no soul disliked this

Unfortunately as I'm listening to this classic, the dislikes are up to 69.
Hopefully they all farted in each others mouths.

& it seems that the world keeps on turnin this band helped with the continual movement it just keeps on the move.🎶

Texas she nice but Georgia oh so sweet. Not anymore. Houston is under water and polluted. Skin it back y'all.

🕶🎶...You're a dream & that's all that I ask for...🎶🕶
🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸...She
knows who the flowers are for...Much love always, Fox

...🎼I really miss Lowell alot,
but we're all very fortunate to have had him around at all,
nonetheless that he left us all of this amazing music...Much love always, Fox 🎶🕶

Goddamn fucking heroin.

". . . and they're stoppin' ev'ryone who looks too weird at the ghoul bust texas roadblock."
-now that you mention it,
i think i'd rather hear that one.
gracias, gh.
rock on.

Ultimate foreskin song.

William Wandel .. You must have gotten your misinformation from the incorrect post of this songs meaning by some idiot on the internet.. "Skin it back” is an aged expression used by both the people living in the Delta and also it's musicians. It means to "roll up your sleeves and go harder". This is used with musicians meaning “Go for it”.

Do I need to say more than the song does? What a band.

say no more....
Great Band

🎼Oh Man, I love this...Lowell George
Lives 4~Ever...Much Love To The Family, Fox...🎶

I was there when this song was recorded, in person it was even better!

this is the only track from 'waiting for columbus' i like more on the studio album. i always miss that dulcet toned guitar opening.

only good paul barerre song. asshole ruined little feat. lowell's fault.

WHAT...??!!

Unless Paul was personally feeding LTG hot shots, I will not say that he did. They were such a tight unit. Everyone a part of something truly amazing.

Let's not forget Down on the Farm!

Barerre was an outstanding guitarist that made rhythm an art form in the same way Wah Wah Watson did.
His work on tracks like `Day at the Dog Races' is nothing short of mind blowing. Where are your ears?

Come on, man... at least give us some reasoning. That's like saying Dickey Betts ruined the Allman Brothers, Becker ruined Steely Dan, Ronnie Woods trashed the Stones... then just going silent.

Changed my life.....forever. :)

Lowell was a dream... Skin it back.

Excellent stuff......love "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" to death.....
