Testo Down Now - B.B. King
Testo della canzone Down Now (B.B. King), tratta dall'album Take a Swing with Me
I keep on trying to get ahead, I'm doing the best I can
But every time I try to pull up, they pull me right back down again
You got me down now, and I hope you're satisfied
Oh, I've tried so hard to keep my head up
Yeah, but they put pressure on me from every side, from every side
Uncle Sam says I owe a lot of money, way back from 1956
Now how could I owe him anything, when that whole year I was sick?
They won't let me make no money, won't even let me buy no clothes
Oh, it's so hard to try to get something to eat
Yes, and now they wanna put old me on dole, put me on dole
Yes, everybody's laughing at me, I can see the joy in your eyes
You're glad because I'm down now, just look at the devils in disguise
I have no one to turn to, no one to lend me a helping hand
Oh, I tell you shapes have really got me
Now, yes, and I'm a lonely, lonely man
