Everybody Gets The Blues

words & music: Allan Thomas & Michael Ruff

Walkin' down a road drivin' in your car
no matter where you go it's never very far
you can't run away from the road you choose
everybody gets the blues

might be feeling ten feet tall
even humpty dumpty took a little fall
here come the rug from under your shoes
everybody gets the blues

*I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
blues are gonna come for you
then their comin' for me
some gonna win some gonna lose
everybody gets the blues

I've been up I've been around
I've seen love and money come tumbling down
it's gonna happen no matter what you do
everybody gets the blues

*I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
blues are gonna come for you
then their comin' for me
some times you win sometimes you lose
everybody gets the blues

one day sunshine next day rain come down
whether your rich or poor no matter who you are
everyone gets the blues

theres one thing you can be sure
come one mornin' there'll be a knockin' on the door
open up baby say how do you do
everybody gets the blues

*I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
blues are gonna come for you
then their comin' for me
might as well face it what else can you do
everybody gets the blues
everybody gets the blues

whether your rich or poor no matter who you are
everyone gets the blues
