LYRICS:
Don't stop even for the right thing
Does it matter what I say?
My whole world was by that river
Flowing off to meet the sea each day
I don't want to move away
You look at me and you say ""what's wrong boy?""
What else do you want me to say?
I don't want to leave tomorrow
Been and gone but I belong here now
Your big world can wait another day
Brighter days where did they go?
I am hopeful for where I'm going
But I belong in The South
That was where I was born a poor boy
Living life like there's no end in sight
Even so I've done without
Brighter days where did they go?
Boy, you're about to hit the bottom
I feel alone, I feel I'm moving there
To a land you never saw and I see you're about to hit the bottom
Lord help me move away to a land you never saw
And I've seen
Brighter days where did they go?

Definitely the best live I’ve EVER seen. Saw them at voodoo in Nola. Front and center. Their music is Just so freaking cool. I don’t know how anyone could t like these guys. Fantastic music.
J.J. got some serious soul
I saw JJ Grey and MoFro at the 9:30 Club in Northwest Washington DC,very small venue,rough neighborhood.
Around Christmas time in 2017. My boss bought the tickets,we were traveling for work,he was from Ocala Florida,I from Northern California. My boss just smiled all the way to the show in the taxi,he knew. I've seen upwards of 175 shows over the years,so he knew how much I appreciated good music. To this day,I don't think I'll ever see someone put as much energy, passion,soul and everything of his very being into the music he's playing not 25' from you. I stood in front of the stage for the entire show completely awed and with the hair on my neck standing straight up,those of you out there who know the feeling,just simply know.
I’ve watched this video 1,000 times easily.
It’s because I won’t stop, even for the right thing. #freethinkingmuslim
What a soulful and awesome singer..he oozes with emotion in his singing
Get a little church
In there! ❤
Florida boys 🍀🍀 live my life by it🍀🍀
Just discovered JJ this year. Went to go see Jamie Johnson and Blackberry Smoke. Side musician by the beer garden was jamming Whiskey Myers... asked if he knew any JJ. Said "no". Some random dude walked up behind me and "belted" ...."HOME SICK BUT ITS, ALRIGHT"!!!!! Went nuts!! We sang the whole song!!! FANTASTIC ♡♡♡
Lord, I love this man. If I wasn't on my death bed I would definitely go see him live❤
They getting brighter everyday , thanks JJ 😎🎸🎯
Simply perfect! From Belo Horizonte/ Brazil 2023

If you ever have a chance to see him live don’t miss it! I’ve been to hundreds of concerts and he ranks among the top!
Happy to find this guy
JJ I absolutely love the feeling you and the Mofro band express in your music. I am 62 and have had seizures for 25 yrs. I can't be around groups of people because it makes them worse. I basically don't go anywhere. My neurologist told me yesterday that I can't go to church anymore because of the seizures the emotions I get there causes them to come on. I listen to your music and others loud so I feel like I'm there. I even put my Bowes speaker on me so I can feel the vibrations. Just wanted to let you know how you touch so many of us who can't leave home. You make us feel like we are getting a private concert!! Thank you!! Can't wait to hear more and keep on with the harmonica!! I play that instrument and enjoy it very much!! RD
Best wishes ❤️🔥☘️
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them"
You and J.J. is (2) May God Bless you !! Tomorrow could be brighter than ever!
Hey, I feel you. Enjoy the simple pleasures . We are still here for a reason . I'm still trying to figure out why. Until then, it's the little things that get us by
You are amazing and truly understand the pains and hurt of addictions.... your lyrics took my soul
So sorry buddy. Have you tried CBD for the seizures?
How have I lived this long and just now come across JJ Grey and Mofro?
How am I only just finding this artist now?
I know, right? I'm only six months into his art. He's one of a kind.
SERIOUSLY
Where have you been during lockdown ? In a cave lol
I said that too when I found him!!!
I'm almost 2 years in, he was the headliner at a concert that I went to for the openers(Marc Broussard and Jonny Lang)...was going to leave before he came on because I had to work the next morning and it was 100 degrees out, but being a music Lover I thought I'd listen to a couple of songs, needless to say I was really tired at work the next morning...haha
Soooo very happy to have finally gotten the opportunity to see y’all this year at St Augustine amphitheater. ❤❤
I saw him at a free concert right after the covid conundrum. Had never heard of him before. Fell instantly in love. He's amazing
To see this in person is on my bucket list
Man… where have you been all my Life?
I sure hope I can see him 1 day.
He captures my heart and soul with his amazing music.
When i was young we went and witnessed legends that weren't legends at the time.
Good good good Florida boys
FANTASTICI GRANDI...
JJ.. I love your music. From Ocala FL Your the next concert tickets I purchase 😊
This never gets old 💙💙💙

Love the music ❤️🎤❤️🎸❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️
Truly a powerful performance, He pulls you in makes you feel it. Perhaps one of the best live performances I hav ever seen and heard!
@douglasgardner You should definitely check out the song Lochloosa from this same concert. He take the "makes you feel it" thing to the next level. You'll love it.
@@scottrussell2281 I have heard that as well he is a very good performer.
WOW!! Happened upon JJGrey &mofro on pbs . Im 69 , Brothers in bands .If my Jerry was still with us, he'd probably want to be in the band!!! He plays kick ass blues harp !!
I can’t believe I’m just finding out about this man right now...Absolutely incredible I am mesmerized... all I can say is “where have you been all of my life”? Please come to Baton Rouge Louisiana… It will be a sell out I am sure
Don't feel bad I just found out out about him about a month ago and I absolutely love his music it's medicine for the soul
No doubt.... they been hiding this shit
So good!!
Just wow!!!😲😎😍❤🙏
I have been going to see these cats. Since the late 90s .. I just them a week and hf ago and He crushed like he always does.. I have seen hundreds of concerts in and all the bands. But noneof them have that real Southern rock bluesy gospel soul thing happening. JJ takes all the great elements of southern music and injects them Into his songs. I just saw them for the 15 -20th time a we l and a half ago nn Little Rock in smallest venue. I have ever seen them in . JJ and the boys crushed live. Like they always do
AMAZING! NEW TO THIS BAND, SAD TO SAY. BUT SO GLAD ,I'M HERE NOW! LOVE ,EVERYTHING, I HEAR.❤
Me, too!!
He actually help me find myself
I was introduced to you while on a military deployment in 2019. Not a single day has gone by where I haven't listened to one of your songs and you are definitely my go to when stressed.
Can't wait to see you in Concert some day!
This guy flat out rocks the ever essential meaning of what soul music is and should be. The fibers of being human rights are portrayed in the music and songs he sings and writes
First of all, thank you for your service. He is great live. I got to see him in May. It was incredible, I hope you get to see him live, better live than recorded.
This man is bad ass can I get a amen for real. !!!!!
SUPER STAR! BEFOR HE KNEW IT, GLORY BE TO ALL!
A pure Florida treasure..
Amazing job.
I just found this wonderful man singing some of the best music I had ever heard in such a long time.
