Next Time You See Me

Grateful Dead · Hundred Year Hall [2004]

Next time you see me, things won't be the same

Next time you see me, things won't be the same

If it hurts you my darling, you only got yourself to blame



Well, it's a true, true saying, all that shines is not gold

It's a true, true saying, all that shines is not gold

Like the good book says, you gotta reap it just what you sow



Well, you lied, cheated, woh-oh, for so long

Well, you lied, cheated, woh-oh, for so long

You were wrong to do it woman, and another queen is on your throne



Well, you lied, cheated, woh-oh, for so long

Well, you lied, cheated, woh-oh, for so long

You were wrong to do it woman, and another queen is on your throne



Next time you see me, things won't be the same

Next time you see me, things won't be by the same

And if it hurts you my darling, you only got yourself to blame



Well, it's true, true saying, all that shines is not gold

Well, it's true, true saying, all that shines is not gold

Like the good book says, you gotta reap it just what you sow

Next Time You See Me

Grateful Dead's "Next Time You See Me" stands as a quintessential example of the band's improvisational rock style, blending bluesy harmonies with psychedelic textures. Recorded during their active touring years, the track exemplifies the ensemble's signature approach to extended jams and collective vocal interplay. Featured on the compilation "Hundred Year Hall [2004]," the song captures the spontaneous energy characteristic of their live performances and studio recordings from the 1970s. It remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the band's enduring influence on the jam band genre and their ability to weave complex musical narratives through collaborative improvisation.
