Those Low Down Dirty Blues Again
Those low down dirty blues again
remind me ‘bout bad times I knew,
when tears poured down like driving rain.
Those low down dirty blues again
that make me sing a sad refrain
‘cause deep inside’s so dark and blue.
Those low down dirty blues again
remind me ‘bout bad times I knew.
Don’t let them take what’s left of me;
it’s all I got, just help me live.
So strum it down now, set me free;
don’t let them take what’s left of me.
Just play it hard, don’t want to see
that pain is all life has to give.
Don’t let them take what’s left of me,
it’s all I got, just help me live.
