B.B. King - Down Now Lyrics
I keep on tryin to get ahead, Im doin the best I canBut every time I try to pull upThey pull me right back down againYou got me down now and I hope youre satisfiedOh, its so hard to try to keep my head upYes, when youre puttin pressure on meFrom every side, every sideEven uncle sam sayI owe a lot of money way back from nineteen fifty sixNow, how could I owe him anythingWhen that whole year I was sickThey wont let me make my moneyWont even let me buy my clothesOh, its so hard to get something to eatYes, and now they want to throw me outdoorsThrow me outdoorsYes, everybodys laughin at meI can see the joy in their eyesTheyre glad because Im down nowJust look at the devils in disguiseAnd I have no-one to turn toNo-one to lend me a helpin handOh, Im tellin you, shakes has really got me nowYes, Im a lonely, lonely man
