The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

I Don’t Get It Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
Breaking away to the other side
I wanna make sense of why we live and die
I dont get it, I dont get it
I ask my friends if they understand
They just laugh at me and watch another band
They dont worry, they dont worry
Lookin for a way to lose my load
I wanna make it easy to walk this road
I cant find it, yeah I cant find it
Yeah, Im looking for answers in so many places
I open my mind
I dont get it
Walkin this earth and keepin my peace
I do what I want but the price is steep
It dont seem right, it dont seem right
My mama she told me one step at a time
And sooner or later youll walk that line
I dont want to, I dont want to
Takin my time to live and die
I wanna find a way to do it right
And I ease on, and I ease on
They say one thing always leads to another
I open my mind
I dont get it
Breaking away to the other side
I wanna make sense of why we live and die
I dont get it, I dont get it
I dont get it, I dont get it
I dont get it
