“Can't Get High” is a song by Daniel Hutchens (Bloodkin), covered by Widespread Panic.
Another great Danny song. [It's] about whatever you need to satisfy your soul, not being there. Not being able to feel feelings of elation or euphoria because whatever you need to do that is not there. I.E. a girlfriend, your pet, some sleep, whatever.
