[Verse 1]
I'm getting tired of your shit
You don't ever buy me nothing
See every time you come around
You gotta bring Jim, James, Paul and Tyrone
See, why can we be by ourselves sometime?
I've been having this on my mind for a long time
I just want it to be you and me like it used to be, baby
But you don't know how to act
So matter a fact

[Hook]
I think you better call Tyrone
And tell him come on help you get your shit
Yeah you better call Tyrone
But you can't use my phone

[Verse 2]
Every time we go somewhere
I gotta reach down in my purse
To pay your way
And your homeboys way
And sometimes your cousins way
They don't ever have to pay
Don't have no cars
Hang around in bars
Try to hang around with stars
Like Badu I'mma tell you true
You better show 'em proof

[Hook]
Call Tyrone
And tell him come on help you get your shit
Oh call Tyrone
But you can't use my phone

Formed in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1998 as a four-piece, My Morning Jacket has bloomed into one of the biggest American bands of the past decade. After guitarist and lead singer Jim James produced The Tennessee Fire and At Dawn, alt-country albums for Darla Records awash in reverb, MMJ was inked to ATO Records, where it began to turn toward alternative rock.

By the time the band made its critically acclaimed fourth record, Z, the current lineup—including Carl Broemel (guitar), Tom Blankenship (bass), Patrick Hallahan (percussion) and Bo Koster (keyboards) along with James—was set. In 2008, the band saw greater appeal after a performance on Saturday Night Live and earned its first Grammy nomination for its fifth album, Evil Urges. In 2009, an MMJ-centric episode of the animated cartoon American Dad brought the group wider exposure.

The band’s known for its incendiary live show, including four straight years at Bonnaroo and a nearly four-hour set at the festival in 2008.
