Artist: Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Song: don't let the blues get you down
Year: 1975
Well, it's the same rhythm
That's played in Memphis
The face shows no pain
But the beat is the same in New York
And speed is just a bird in the night
It carries sorrow as it flies no fixed flight
It's heard out there
You say, your name is the same
But you're just not able to live white
You can't believe what is real
Because what's real for you may not be right
And the alleys, and streets stay the same
And you think you know what's to blame
Just ain't right
Don't let the blues get you down
Don't let the blues drag you around
The blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get ya now
I said, the blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get you now
Well, it's the same rhythm
That's played in Memphis
The face is the same
But the beat isn't played in New York
The people spin a web they can't see
And imagine what a world this could be
If they did things right
Don't let the blues get you down
Don't let the blues drag you around
The blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get ya now
Don't let the blues get you down
Don't let the blues drag you around
Don't let the blues get you down
The blues are gonna get ya
The blues are gonna get you now
I said, the blues are gonna get you
The blues are gonna get you now
I said, the blues are gonna get you
The blues are gonna get you now
I said, the blues are gonna get you
The blues are gonna get you now, yeah, oww
