Ryan Bingham - Got Damn Blues lyrics

I got the blues, you damn right
I got the blues, you damn right
Alright now, alright now

Mama left me, I was young
Papa left me, too damn young
Down in Texas, dirty South Texas
On my own, in a bad place, in a bad way

Goddamn blues, there's a rattlesnake
With some bad blood bitin' me
Out on the road, I'm all alone out here
Goddamn blues, there's a young child
Locked in a bird cage on a border town
Out on the road, I'm all alone out here
Goddamn blues, there's a grown man
Sweatin' methadone, killin' me
Go down the road
Well, go down the road from here
And do not lose the way

Goddamn blues, there's a whole town
Of righteousness hatin' me

Go down the road go down the road from here
And do not lose the way

Goddamn blues, down at the crossroad
With a broke leg, which way do I go?

Go down the road (I'm goin' down that road)
Go down the road from here
(I'm gettin' down that road from here)
And do not lose the way
(I will not lose my way)

Goddamnit blues, there's a racist man
In a white house up on the hill

Go down the road (Get down the road)
Go down the road from here
(Get down the road from here)
And do not lose the way

Goddamnit blues, on a shoestring
With some chicken bone, must be hoodoo
I'm gettin' down the road
I'm gettin' down that road from here
I know by now I will not lose my way

Well, I'm walkin' down this
Straight and narrow road
Shakin' all these goddamn blues
My head's held high but I'm feelin' so low
Shakin' all these goddamn blues
Well, I'm walkin' down that
Straight and narrow road
Shakin' all these goddamn blues
My head's held high but I'm feelin' so low
Shakin' all these goddamn blues
Well, I'm walkin' down that
Straight and narrow road
Shakin' all these goddamn blues
My head's held high but I feel so low
Shakin' all these goddamn blues
