Lyrics Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Don't Let the Blues Get You Down

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

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

It 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

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

Yeow
