From the recording Be Good To Yourself: Snacks Vol. 1
The Big Moment in every Arrogance show was when singer Don Dixon squeezed the sin out of Percy Sledge’s “When A Man Loves A Woman.” Dixon again raises goose bumps on his righteous reading of “We Got It" by the great Eddie Hinton. The wide-berth arrangement is stripped back and slowed, giving Dixon room to get down and testify. Churchy organ worthy of Booker T.; soul-sister background vocals by Shana Blake; Memphis-bound horns and a “correct” guitar solo by Gino “Woo Funk” Grandinetti seal the deal. The definition of soul.

Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like I’m lost
Way out on a stormy sea
And I can’t find anything around
Oh, to comfort me
No no
Cause there ain’t no love in sight
No love
And I’m a long way from your tenderness and care
But I know, I know, I know, I know
It’s gonna be alright when I get there
We got it
There’s no doubt about it, baby
We got it
You can count on me
When this old world starts getting you down
We got it
What I'm talking' about
Oh, we got the kinda love
That'll make it shine early in the morning
Shine, shine, shine
And we got some good ‘ol times
When we need 'em
That’ll keep us going on
Right on, right on, right on, right on
And when those storm clouds appear
And you run away from these arms of mine
Baby, baby help me just stand near
You can find me in your mind
We got it
There’s no doubt about it
We got it
And you know you can count on me
When this old world starts getting you down
We got it
One more thing I'd like to say...
It’s sure nuff a comfort to know
That you got someone to depend on
Yes, it is
And you know its such a joy
Such a joy
To have someone you can brag on
'Cause you got to brag sometimes
That when people get you down
Talking about all the things, all the things that they got
Well honey they’ll come around, they'll come around
When you tell them about the man you got
We got it
There's no doubt about it, baby
We got it
And you can count on me
When this old world starts getting you down
We got it
Whoa, one more time, don't you know that
We got it
There ain't no doubt about it, oh
We got it
Oh, you can count on me
When this old world, when this old world starts getting you down
We got it
We got it
We got it
Oh, you can count on me
We got it
I believe, I believe in you
We got it
Oh you know, got to tell you they just don't understand
We got it
