Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real - Bad Case Lyrics






You have the want
But not the need
You want the flower
But not the seed
You might be clever, ha
But you're tied up in your words
And there are consequences
Circling like birds

You've got a bad case of wanting what you can't have
Must be a terrible feeling
You've got a bad case of wanting what you can't have
Must be a terrible feeling
I can't help you anymore
You can do what you want
I can't help you anymore
Ah, you're too far gone

I was too young
Now I'm too old
I was too shy
Now I'm too bold
I hung around too much
Now I'm too much away
You had my love
Now you push me away

You've got a bad case of wanting what you can't have
Must be a terrible feeling
You've got a bad case of wanting what you can't have
Must be a terrible feeling
I can't help you anymore
You can do what you want
I can't help you anymore
Ah, you're too far gone

Yeah, you're too far gone
Yeah, you're too far gone
Yeah, you're too far gone
Yeah, yeah

You've got a bad case of wanting what you can't have
Must be a terrible feeling
You've got a bad case of wanting what you can't have
Must be a terrible feeling
I can't help you anymore
You can do what you want
I can't help you anymore
Ah, you're too far gone
You're too far gone
You're too far gone

You're too far gone
You're too far gone
You're too far gone

  6. S.... ....

    He sounds like tom petty

  7. T.... V....

    He's definitely his fathers son and I'd swear he's channeling Tom Petty here, but this young artist is certainly his own man. I'm a fan.

  8. H.... E....

    Love every single thing about this song and video.

  9. L.... E....

    amo tu pelo largo, sos hermoso .

  10. a.... b....

  13. S.... H....

    This band has captured me. I don't want help...leave me to my paradise.

  14. M.... C....

    Love this Lukas! Just everything, be still my heart, can you get any sexier 🥰🥰🥰

    M.... C....

    I could not agree more!

  15. M.... D....

    Really great song! It’s the whole package as far as I’m concerned.

  16. t.... l....

    Sounds bias 2 me . i thought i could have what my heart desires .. Through christ i can kave all the kindoms and their glory

  17. D.... B....

    I just watched Lukas perform this on GMA. I like this song! Time to download it. The lyrics are true. Keep singing Lukas!

    D.... B....

    Maybe I'm assuming too much, but these lyrics have national relevance to me!

    D.... B....

    @Carol Roberts that's one way to look at it.

  18. D.... W....

    Very bon Jovi esc. Love it

  22. W.... ....

    Two words. Red. Dirt! Just fabulous!

  23. J.... E....

    Excellent!!

  24. D.... L....

    Cool video, but does the song have too much Petty-ness?! Other songs on the album catch my attention more, but this is easily digestible!

  25. B.... S....

    I've been a long time fan of Tom Petty. A long time fan of Willie Nelson. Since Tom passed, I've been looking for a talent that can compare with The Heartbreakers. It is Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real. ❤️ Lets do this.

    B.... S....

    Bryan Spangle I was gonna say the same thing lol this entire album reminds of me Southern Accents

    B.... S....

    Try some J.Roddy Walston and the Business. You will dig it.

    B.... S....

    its brilliant

  26. S.... S....

    Love it!

    It's a bit of a whiny song, isn't it? So, you can't have what you want? Tough, get over it. ;)

  40. h.... ....

    No matter how you feel about this video, Lukas always gives good hair.

  41. A.... M....

    You boys have been playing with Niel Young for a long time. And it shows. In a good way.

    Anyone who doesn’t love this band can go climb a tree and fuck off as far as I’m concerned.

  42. M.... Y....

    I love it!

  43. D.... M....

    Nice Tune - Rolling Stones - Support Band - Hmmm - We'll all see you soon.

    Someone fell in love with someone who fell in love with someone else. <3

  51. M.... m....

    I think I'm in love 😍....

  52. V.... ....

    Love the music and video. I bought a 57 Les Paul Junior and keep it tuned to Eb and play to your music off of YouTube sometimes all night long. I have been a fan since around 8 years ago when you came to Alexandria Coliseum with your Dad, Sister, and Your Band. Thanks. 👏👍🎸🇺🇸😎✌️

  53. C.... A....

    I like this a lot!

  54. T.... Q....

    Tom Petty Loves This! Good Song!

  55. J.... J....

    Very cool, very Tom Petty-ish

  56. D.... D....

    always great to see Luck. thanks, boys :)

  57. A.... ....

    This is great!! Can't wait for the rest of this album!!  See y'all Sept. 26th...Chicago love!!

  58. J.... M....

    Enjoyable enough but really just one big hook the whole way through?

    J.... M....

    Where's your singles? Don't think you, as a nobody is in a position to critique.

  59. T.... C....

    The Cherokee Hills in Oklahoma! Love it❤️

    T.... C....

    That landscape is mindblowing

    Tom Petty

  62. K.... H....

    Love it! Can't wait to get the new LP in the mail!!

  63. T.... F....

    I’ve got a bad case of wanting to see you in concert and so far haven’t been able to, so I can tell you Yes, it makes me feel bad, but I’m not too far gone yet, I don’t think.

  64. S.... K....

    so good!!

  65. R.... C....

    Love it, you guys fill a couple voids, while inventing your own space. Love your energy
    - a gardener

  66. G.... M....

    Nope.... Sorry. I can't stand Pop Country. I hope this isn't what the future holds for Lukas

    G.... M....

    I wouldn’t classify this as “country,” pop or otherwise. Just bc his last name is Nelson doesn’t mean he has to sing country music. Neither this song, nor Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, have ever been “country.” They’ve always been more of a rock band-they backed Neil Young for awhile for crying out loud. You should stop putting labels on music and just enjoy what you enjoy. Have a great day!

    G.... M....

    Sounds like the story of my love life!!🤣

    G.... M....

    Ya this kid is fucking great but this is really over produced, lose the choral BG's and strip it down..imho

  67. j.... s....

    Love this song and now I love the video too! I wonder how many songs have been written about this girl, lol...

  68. m.... ....

    My favourite song so far! 🙏🏻

  69. L.... I....

    A perfect embodiment of a Tom Petty song. Undeniably wonderful.

  70. D.... K....

    Great lyrics so true got it for mr. untouchable

  71. C.... S....

    Awesome,promise of the real.4:03 guitar👍

    C.... S....

    Right??!!

  72. L.... K....

    Nailed it!!! ❤️❤️❤️

  73. J.... H....

    Beautiful way to start the day! 🧡

  74. L.... V....

    WOW! So very happy that you have a new video to go with the song - "Bad Case." I love all the songs on the album. Thanks for the sneak preview. Oh! by the way I really love Lukas Nelson..... and POTR! Keep it Real!!!!! Great job on the video too!!! Thanks Again! Peace & Love!

  75. T.... I....

    what idiot gave this a thumbs down? Lukas this is great and has a cool Tom Petty vibe to it

    T.... I....

    I gave it the third thumbs down. This song is horrible, in my opinion. I love 99.9% of the music he's put out. This falls in the .1% trash bin though

    T.... I....

    @The Irish man. 24 eejits hit the thumb down.. We are Irish we know what the good stuff is 🙌

    T.... I....

    @Gerry Martin Why even bother giving it a thumbs down? Not everyone is going to enjoy it, that's a given but I don't get this desire for people online to constantly give their opinion, far too much negativity in this world.

    T.... I....

    Be Kind!

  76. C.... C....

    PLEASE READ WHILE SMILING!Can I say... I love this video.
    But if I'd been the one to edit this...
    [I AM trying to be cautious...]
    Unless the two men fighting are only to represent the couple fighting...
    I say this; I'd rather seen those two enjoying a cup of tea in English Bone China cups, pinkies-Up, while dropping flower petals in to a dang toaster.
    I am so sick of seeing people fight, argue, and demean each other.
    I hear you're voice Lukas when i hear the news now... So....

    Mr. Bold, i know it looks like it would work in that short sceen, but you in many ways have become our liasion, on humanities mission for changing the collective consciousness,
    from Sad to Gladness.
    I'd ditch them, for the scene with the Flowers and Toast & Tea!
    ROFLMAO!
    Love ya SO much....Clarita!
    🥂🥑⛾🍞😋😘🤣😊🤙🔮🧞‍♂️

  77. D.... Y....

    Awesome video! Can’t wait to hear the new album!

  78. O.... ....

    New fan here. I remember hearing this in Athens Ga the other week. Love it! Love you guys!

    O.... ....

    I was there too. Great show wasn't it?

    O.... ....

    @Recan Yes amazing show. My first experience, made me an instant fan. Lukas has an incredible charisma about him.

  79. O.... C....

    Hell yeah they made a music video for this my favorite song by them

  80. D.... S....

    OUTSTANDING as usual Lukas!! See you in Philadelphia or Camden New Jersey....again....#RedheadDeadhead

  81. J.... L....

    Great sound! Looking forward to the Denver show Aug 9.

  82. D.... B....

    Love it, have since the first listen. Tom Petty influence? Also, go the western top hat!

    D.... B....

    I heard that influence, too. I love it. What an amazing artist Lukas and his band POTR are.

    D.... B....

    His father wore the top hat for years...though it is his "Tom Petty" hat...

  83. B.... s....

    Stoked to get this new album is an understatement! It will be epic and my friend that manges radio stations in Iowa will be getting a call from me to play this.

  84. S.... A....

    Can’t wait for the new album!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
